The problem with the extroverts is that they don't produce much useful work, unless their work is really tied to extroversion, such as in sales. Otherwise they mostly just run around being extroverted in my experience.

The problem for the introverts is that their contributions may go unrecognized because they don't "sell" themselves. This is of course is a problem for the company as well since incentives are skewed -- from actually doing real work that benefits the company to selling your own person inside the organization (which provides zero value to customers).

What an incredibly arrogant introverted opinion. Being introverted isn't a super power, and I've met quite a few introverted workers who produced sub-par work because they didn't like to actually talk to the clients or their manager before the fire started.
