if you have or had to depend on your boss for your paychecks you're a worker.

Sorry the phrasing is still just going over my head on this one I guess, but I think (hope) we all agree that managers aren't capitalists.

if the majority of your income comes from wage labour, you're working class
anything else and you're some flavour of bourgeoisie, petit or otherwise (also could be some kind of lumpen too, though that's mostly career criminals)
most managers live on their wages
