Not everyone at Docusign is a white collar tech worker. Most likely aren’t.

I'll go ahead and say the vast majority of docusign workers are white collar. Other than building maintenance and sales they have no ground game that would require low skill labor.

I was thinking of white collar tech worker as engineers. However it makes sense to include all the tech workers including UX, PM, etc and then I agree that’s the majority. Aka I was wrong, you’re right.

In my experience, tech companies contract out roles like security, food, janitorial, shipping, and even facilities, so those people would not be included in the 7000-person figure. The people who manage the relationships with the contracting companies are decidedly white-collar.

But maybe DocuSign doesn't do it that way, I don't actually know.
