Open Plan Offices Were Designed by Satan: The Introvert's Guide to Work

A tongue-in-cheek guide for introverts at work

The Internet is rife with career advice. You don’t need to look far to find someone telling you how to get ahead, climb the ladder, optimize your career solutions, etc. Most of it boils down to two things: networking and being assertive.

Introverts face a tough crowd in the work world. We tend to be cerebral, focused, and diligent, but find it hard to get noticed. And most of the time we’d rather crawl into a hole and die than attend a “networking social.”

You can find plenty of advice about passing as an extrovert in the work world. Experts tell you to fake it until you make it... to force yourself outside your comfort zone. Wya Soquiet says no to that! You spend a third of your life at work. Why consign a third of your life to hell before you die? You do know that Satan invented the open plan office, right?

At 7,000 words, The Introvert's Guide to Work is a tongue-in-cheek career advice essay urging introverts to just be introverts. You will be a better, happier, and more productive worker if you are allowed to be yourself in the workplace.
