Are IT workers new blue collar workers in 21st century?

As the growing service industry and in the need of more IT people like developers, programmers, architects, coders. It is the time to redefine the working people as blue collar jobs, as they are the one who do work from home,

People think of great achievement when they hear about work from home, but the real meaning of remote jobs or work from home is like being working 24*7. If a company gives you a notebook or a laptop, that always means you are working for them as they desire.

DEFINITION OF COLLAR JOBS: -

BLUE COLLAR JOBS DEFINES IN 20TH CENTURY AS— The terms "blue collar" is occupational classifications that distinguish workers who perform manual labor from workers who perform professional jobs. Historically, blue-collar workers wore uniforms, usually blue, and worked in trade occupations.

WHITE COLLAR JOBS-- White-collar workers usually perform job duties in an office setting. They are highly skilled and formally trained professionals. Many white-collar workers, such as accountants, bankers, attorneys and real estate agents, provide professional services to clients. Other white-collar workers, such as engineers and architects, provide services to businesses, corporations and government agencies.

PINK COLLAR JOBS-- In the United States, a pink-collar worker performs jobs in the service industry. Pink-collar occupations tend to be personal-service-oriented worker working in retail, nursing, and teaching (depending on the level), are part of the service sector, and are among the most common occupations in the United States.



SO NOW WE KNOW THE DEFINATION OF COLLAR JOBS.

It’s the point to convey the differentiation of jobs now become so popular that all the engineer (coders, programmers, developers) started thinking them as white collared worker, as the industries and writer told about the specification and qualification under all the categories.

Now we came in 21st century and it allows us of “Thinking Out of the Box”. So here is my point to be pondered as the IT people are the new blue collar worker as the new evolution OF INDUSTRIES.

WHY?

POINTS TO BE FOCUSED ON: -

1) Anybody Without Engineering Degree or True Engineering Knowledge Can Be a Developer with Just One Online Learning and One Certification, Companies Will Hire Them as Well Because They Really Are Worth Hiring.

2) All the IT people has privilege to work from home, but its company’s strategy to have to availability of employee 24*7, which is 3 times a blue collar people do spend time at shop floor.

3) Not paid for the job extra done, because all the jobs are project based. Blue collar people are being paid for extra hours.

4) No job security again as the project ends all of the team would be in bench if the company do not have enough projects, so they only hire on contract 6+months, if projects extends then it’s okay otherwise you have to search for a job very next day.

5) Coder and programmer are the key people to run an IT company but those geeks are not being paid or patented their work because they are on contract with some company and they have to let it go and same as blue collar workers.

6) knowledge of an IT guy can be very vast, but they are stick to their daily work of which exhaust them, same as a blue collar worker go through after manual work.

“I would say "try to fetch your talent out of you in a manner so they are not being judged as “techie, or geeks” go up to your limits, don’t stick to your daily routine of Linux, Ubuntu or information system. You are more than a blue collar worker, try to stand out of the line”

I AM NOT CRITICIZING ANY WORKERS OR CLASS HERE, ITS JUST MATTER OF COMPARISON!!
