Hm... I guess I got a little carried away. I still don't understand why a security instructor or an engineer would be considered management. I'm sure there's a rationale. Somebody want to help me understand this concept?

Because thats how they are recorded by HR for reporting purposes and in the US to make them exempt grades. 99.99% of HN readers who work in tech will be considered management/professional grades even if you dont formally "manage" anyone

I don't mean to derail this conversation but I thought to HR I am just "Contingent Labor". How can I be considered management?

Are you considered an "exempt" grade if so HR will have to put you in the M&P (managerial and professional) group to avoid all sorts of nasty tax problems with the IRS.
