Literally don’t agree with any of this. I am an introvert and this absolutely is my dream. I don’t like making small talk with people in an office. We don’t even do video chats at all so I’m not sure why she assumes remote work involves video chats. We do everything over the phone and computer, I wouldn’t agree to do video in my home. Also if I did have to go on video that would be less social anxiety for me since it’s not in person and I can close the video if I did feel it.

I don’t understand why people focus on video conferences.
I work in one of the biggest companies in my country and since covid started no one is using video 99.99 % of the time.
We only use voice calls in Teams.

This is not a well-executed TED talk.
This lady had an interesting point to make that is different from most other similar videos, which is that the extroverts should ask introverts about what a remote work day should be like. However, the message was obscured among all the rehashed suggestions that we’ve probably have seen a dozen times in other videos by a wide range of Youtubers.
The central idea is that, introverts LOVE remote work because they can finally work in serenity, but extroverts hate it because they don’t get to socialize. The problem with many companies is that the extroverts force social interactions by having long zoom sessions amongst other things, which ruins the whole remote work experience for the introverts. Another reason for that to happen is that the managers do not trust the employees to do their jobs and think that they slack off all the time, such that they had to implement constant surveillance via video calls.
As an introvert myself, I have absolutely no problems with the “disembodied heads on the screen” and I don’t need “real human interactions” at all as far as work is concerned. It is the extroverts that cause a problem when they are so demanding about “real human interactions”.
The entire burnout is caused by extroverts. They burn out because they don’t get to interact with people. Introverts get burnt out because the extroverts keep forcing us to interact with them.
So yes, extroverts should learn from us introverts and stop being so needy and spend your lives depending on other people.

Let’s see… No commute to work, able to get up later, no commute home, and so able to spend more time enjoying doing non-work things.
Be glad you’ve still got employment, and that you have the luxury of working from home without supervisors and managers looking over your shoulder.
You’re in a FAR better position than having to commute to a workplace every day.
Let’s face it (and this has been known for decades): for a lot of folks, working from home is an excuse to take it easy.
