Personally, I feel no more inclined to accept this framing than, say, the Nolan Chart.

The reasons for rejecting the Nolan Chart would not be relevant with this method though, eh?

I think in life, it’s either ‘frame or be framed’ aint it? If we don’t call ourselves anything, we’ll get called everything…

Well, maybe so, or maybe not… much of that I think depends on objective conditions, (social position in production) - but for people still tinkering with subjective takes on their livelihoods… at the very least, there is ALSO some benefit to be gained n terms of Self-concept… the stories we tell ourselves about how we wish to be regarded I think are a touchstone for our own well-being.

I think the only occupation where having no ‘badge’ is an occupational boon is… hmmm… management consulting? no er… civil service? teaching? nope er (thinking of mainly white collar/no collar work)… wait… being a lawyer…

Oh, now wait a goddamn minute…
