Now it's time for the leaders to recognize that those who get shit done should be rewarded equally for it. Everyone has experienced this new world of working and seen first hand who these unsung heroes are keeping the lights on, and they aren't the loudest in the room taking credit for everyone else's work.
Excelled? Maybe we are not miserable people who need constant support from others. We really do not care about your family situation or hobbies. It is easy to do productive work, when you do not have to be unpaid therapist for your work colleagues!

I don't say hey... Dudes introverted like me! I relate!
Instead I see a small, insecure person that can't understand people are different.
Because people like a different level of social connection doesn't mean they're miserable or that you are their unpaid therapist.
You sound like a scifi geek who's still grumbling at 30 years old that your dad made you try out for the football team when you were 13.
We know we are really bad at tracking knowledge work productivity but we will make up narratives based off bad data.
I imagine the real story is that the productive people are just as but not more productive at home vs the office and the slackers are walking their dog more instead of walking around the office.
"Office slackers waste time in different ways working from home, everything else basically the same"
I think one of the biggest factor is that it really boosts your productivity and there's no toxic culture that is happening.

I'm as introverted as the next dork but when introverts get their ass on their shoulders and define themselves not so much in what they like but why they think extroverts are lesser people..

Extroverts are not uber or lesser, they are not even different, they are just people. My social obligation to my work colleagues ends at remembering their names! I do not even care if they are intro or extroverts.

Why are you so angry?

Is there something wrong about being small and insecure? Extroverts are not uber or lesser, they are not even different, they are just people. My social obligation to my work colleagues ends at remembering their names! I do not even care if they are intro or extroverts.
But most of us try to work on those aspects of ourselves rather than own it and just be an aggressive prick to others..
I don't think that it is so much about being an introvert. Instead, when working remotely it is possible to configure your work environment to block interruptions. Then when you are in the zone you remain productive and don't get interrupted constantly and thus get more done. I have also noticed that extrovert managers hate it when you ask them to send an email. Their strategy is to talk and then when it suits them d…
