Great article. Posts mentioning extroversion/introversion are my personal bat signal for me to comment. American workplace culture has always been biased in favor of extraversion. Companies did not just value teamwork but outright fetishized it to the point where you have no alone time to work on the things you have to get done without distractions. Being introverted myself, work from home was a godsend and I was more productive at home than in the office.

Very stimulating read. I would have liked to see a discussion of the inequities of commuting also -- another "hidden factor" in office politics.
