argument on this topic is positive because the article is discussing about the optimistic side
of introverts’ person who working from home during pandemic area. The argument is about
the many introverted workers found working from a distraction-free environment preferable.
In this article, the author's assumptions are firstly client needs also changed in ways that
benefited introverts’ skillsets, while virtual communication offered introverts more
opportunities to share their thoughts. And secondly for ‘quiet deliverers’ who may once have
flown under the radar, remote work offered not only a less taxing day-to-day, but also an
opportunity to combine that extra energy with new ways of working.

In addition, there are few types of supporting detail that the author uses in bringing the
issue. For example, the types of support details in this article are expert testimonies, expert
opinion, comparisons, research findings and personal experiences. Most of the author claim
are more from its point of view “In the uncertain days at the outset of the pandemic, the
needs of companies and their clients experienced a shift, and workers who could meet them
stood out.” and expert opinion “In a recent Bloomberg interview, Patty McCord, former head
of HR at Netflix, said it was clear managers were newly aware of the skills of employees who
didn’t command attention before.”

Besides that, the author’s tone on this article is supportive tone. “Client needs also
changed in ways that benefited introverts’ skillsets, while virtual communication offered
introverts more opportunities to share their thoughts.” Here have showed that the author was
being optimistic. The author’s purpose for writing this article is to let readers know that the
different of personality types among workers and some impact of working at home and office
to both personality types which are introvert and extrovert person. The author’s intended
audiences to read this article are introvert person, workers, and company’s management.

His first reason is that it is an introvert’s moment to shine. This reason helps to
explain further on the author’s argument on why introverts excelled at working from home.
He supports his reason by referring the strong evidence which in a recent Bloomberg
interview, Patty McCord, former head of HR at Netflix, that company’s best employees were
the quiet ones who would just get on a call with a client and listen. During the pandemic,
those skills immediately became incredibly sought after. Introverts are reliable; people who
take one project at a time and do it thoroughly. They’re good at deep thought and forming
personal connection. That was important during the period when companies were trying to
hold onto clients. He then gave another reason why introverts can excel at working from
home which a refreshing change of pace. On top of having the right innate skill set, many
introverts benefited from the move away from a physical office environment. That because
the traditional office, in many ways, really did not suit workers with more introverted
personalities. The workplace was created by extroverts, for extroverts because, Open-
concept offices are the worst offender. The ease with which people can access your space
without invitation can be intense. The author presents the arguments by using an inductive
approach. This can be seen when he started his article with many specific information in
each paragraph and ended it with possible statements.

Overall, the author argument is valid as he used much evidence on the article which is the
author said which in a recent Bloomberg interview, Patty McCord, former head of HR at
Netflix, that company’s best employees were the quiet ones who would just get on a call with
a client and listen. During the pandemic, those skills immediately became incredibly sought
after, And the other evidence is the workplace was created by extroverts, for extroverts
because, Open-concept offices are the worst offender. The ease with which people can
access your space without invitation can be intense. He referred to many researchers and
evidence and put on the article to strengthen the evidence on the article. He has a counter
argument that shows he was looking at a possible problem and managed to refute the
critics. The author argument is also complete with the evidence given. So we can conclude
that the argument is valid based on the evidence and research.
