I understand that most people are working for a company so others tell her what to do after school when they also train you what to do and you are micromanaged all the time.
The article portrays that you need your boss to create your social circle for you.
People do not see that as the enormous opportunity that it is.
For example, before I worked remote I used to spend two hours every day commuting. I risked my life on the road with truck drivers and other carriers that were always late, stressed and dangerous. That also required my own money in gas and car repairs, expensive clothing...
Most people at the office were not my friends, they were coworkers, and because I spent so much time there I had no time for seeing my real friends and family. I was also exhausted all the time, because I did not sleep enough.
Working remote is amazing for me now(it was tough at first) and it could be for a lot of people is only they learn to grasp the opportunity.
Take control of your own life, you will have to go against the training of the school days that is pervasive, school took years of your live. It will take you years to undo this training. Make your own group of friends, lovers. Sleep and eat well. Exercise. Invest on your skills.
The article portrays young people as victims, and it is quite the opposite, they are the ones that can adapt and learn and grow.
I went to Russia and most old people had a hard time working in a capitalist society because they grew up in a State that did everything for them, so as young people they did not developed the skills to make things on their own. If you actually tried , you were strongly punished.
But young people are adaptable. When I was young and started working remotely very few people did, so I had to learn on the go. Today it is much better and easier.
Be proactive, refuse being a victim, if you have problems with working remote create a club, a mail list or whatever for other people in your same situation. Learn from people that have made it.
But don't be a victim. We will be having covid for at least 5 to 6 months more in the north Hemisphere. You can spend that time doing something about it, learning and improving your skills or just complain all the time.
After everything goes back to normal, most people will not do remote work 100%, but odds are they will do 30%, 40, or 50%, and their live will improve as a result if you have gotten the skills.
