Haha, no, absolutely not. Power and wealth will still be accumulated primarily through persuading and influencing others. Good luck accumulating significant capital without that!

[paulpauper]

It depends how you define wealth and power. I mean, $200k at Apple may not be super wealthy or super powerful, but it is still way better than retail work.

[arcturus17]

People have been making that type of money at Apple before the pandemic, so nothing has changed.

Also, Apple is making everyone return to the office 3x per week. So much for the Rise of the Introverts...

I hope we understand that influencing others can happen without meeting them in a room on their schedule? If we do, then perhaps the general zeitgeist will evolve to recognize the superpower therein?

OK, but this marginally favors introverts, if at all.

People will still need to be aggressive in building relationships and influencing them. Does this sound to you like something introverts would enjoy, even if they're able to do it on Zoom?

[marcinzm]

Me and some other introverts I know actually find Zoom calls more draining than in person conversations. Not sure why.

[arcturus17]

I'm not sure I'm an introvert, I think I live in a broad range between the two poles, but I definitely notice that sometimes too.

In that case, it might favour "people who can type fast", not "introverts".
