retired blue collar here
(and yes, like other posters, I had to put up with endless nagging in school to go white collar. School was easy, good marks, college offers......was not interested in sitting behind a desk at any wage. And I found it VERY insulting when they would harp that I shouldn't want to be a useless worker drone....um, like my parents ya mean? meetings would get interesting then :D )

'job training' 'team concept' testing for everything...
bah, show me the work, leave me alone, and don't talk to me.
Some of the best, hardest working crews I've been on, never talked while they were working, bosses kept their distance, and they spent every lunchtime at the nearest ginmill.

And new guys didn't worry about the boss...ya better be able to keep up with your co-workers......
Would-Could they get hired today...by any company....not a chance
