This isn't really a new thing. It's been happening forever.

It's nice that it's getting attention though.

Yes, 'plant' life is deep on so many levels. Have friends and family who worked in the big three plants, which have varied total sub-culture-social clusters you can get into or not, but the drama is all about you.

The women I've known who worked long term in that setting especially in the 90's were very formidable, to keep bull crap up off them.

At the extreme ends of some plant life, ala extra-marital romantic shannigans, I've heard the terms "plant wife" and "plant husband" applied --
