I worked on a campus as a tenant at the facility with a big semiconductor focus and some prototype fabs.
The pecking order was established in the parking lot. The execs drove BMWs and Teslas, the tenants varied. We were in a special lot.
The worker bees in the fabs drove older Hyundais and Nissans. Except for the trades - fabs require a lot of plumbing and electrical contractors, and those guys were all union, all minting overtime, and all driving fancy pickup trucks.
