This playbook has been run for over 100 years. One of the more blatant examples was racist ass white unions not letting black people join and then going full :shocked-pikachu: when black folks ended up as scabs. The idea that a junior dev is “management” and therefore “not a worker” because they work in an office is straight up Pinkerton propaganda. Literally, union busters will insert people onto the floor to talk shit about the office people and vice-versa.
Do you own the means of production? Or is your income dependent upon showing up and performing a job of some kind? Congratulations, you're a worker. And yes, coordinating people and resources is a job.
Pay and prestige differences between white collar and blue collar workers are just there to obfuscate their shared class interest. Don't buy into the capitalist's propaganda here.
You're seeing actual management pit two groups of workers against each other and you point at one of them and exclaim "not real workers!"
Edit
Frankly, this sounds like something that a chud would say to sow division.
