Funny how simple things become status symbols in some place but not in others. Here in France, a hard hat is just a PPE for use in the construction industry, not any kind of status symbol. Perhaps those categories of workers and their members are perceived differently on the two side of the Atlantic?
- ghaff 7y agoWhen I wore hard hats on job sites stickers from suppliers were a big thing. So not sure status symbol but definitely personalization thing. Not much different from developer laptops today. Though the idea is older. There was a maybe 99% invisible ep on this in the context of miners as I recall.
