If you can choose to work for someone else or live off Daddy's trust fund, but you choose to work, you are not working class, simply because you have the choice.
It doesn't matter whether or not you control your employer's "means of production." You have the choice of where to source your income...your own work or that of someone else. THAT is what makes the difference. You can, at any time, tell your employer to piss up a rope.
And I consider management to be working class--so long as the manager in question has to work, rather than chooses to work.
Edited to add: If you can live off your investments--or someone else's--then you are also not working class.
