It's not (mainly) about introverts vs extroverts, it's about high status vs low status.
I guess not having your ass kissed daily must feel like "running on fumes".
- gffrd 6y agoFair. My comment did imply that managers / those who feel "drained" by remote working are extroverts, which may be untrue. On that: I think extroverts can tend to derive value from external factors, which may make them more hungry for praise (especially public). (Edited because earlier version was murky)
- raducu 6y agoI'm sure the vast majority of managers are extroverts, and introverted managers would be more ok with remote-work.
- rrrrrrrrrrrryan 6y agoThe upper management folks also have big, comfy, quiet offices with floor-to-ceiling windows, and an assistant right outside the door to bark orders to. The people working in cubicle-hell or open-office purgatory generally aren't the ones clamoring to get back inside the building. If offices were redesigned to give more rooms with doors to the people who want them so they can do some quiet focused work, even if it's not an assigned space, I think you'd see much more eagerness to return.
