Move to WT:BJAODN? --Connel MacKenzie 18:56, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's serious. It looks like this term might have been coined or popularized by S. Alvi and D. McIntyre's 1993 Canadian Business Review article "The open collar worker." At any rate, "open collar" worker gets 108 hits on b.g.c (http://books.google.com/books?q=%22open+collar%22+worker), and I daresay most seem to be serious, independent, and mainstream; most seem to be using it with the sense listed (though a few use it more generally in reference to laid-back work environments, tele- or otherwise), and many are actually using the term, not just mentioning it. —RuakhTALK 03:43, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm striking this now, as it's been cited for over a week without comment. —RuakhTALK 15:55, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
