Question

leticia has worked for 10 years in the public relations department of a large firm. She has not been promoted to any executie position in her firm even though she has directed several successful projects for the firm. Her lack of promotion is an example of:
the "grass ceiling"
the "crystal palace"
the "mommy track"
sexual harrasment

Answer 1

The correct option is "glass ceiling" (note: its "glass" not "grass")

The glass ceiling effect is a term that refers to a metaphorical and invisible (just like glass) barrier that keeps women and other social minorities from being promoted and climbing up the corporate ladder to CEO and other top managerial jobs at organizations they work at.
