sklenený strop – umelé prekážky v postupe zamestnancov, napr. diskriminácia
Example sentences:
Mnohé ženy vo svojej kariére síce úspešne prerazia takzvaný sklenený strop a dostanú sa na vysoko postavené miesta vo firemných štruktúrach, no čoskoro zistia, že im hrozí pád zo skleneného útesu. (Pravda.sk)
Ženy majú pritom všetky predpoklady na to, aby po kariérnom rebríčku stúpali rýchlo nahor. Do istej úrovne postupujú ľahko, no potom narazia na neviditeľnú bariéru, ktorá sa zvykne označovať ako sklenený strop. Teda niečo, čo do chvíle, kým nechcú ísť vyššie, možno ani nevnímajú. (Izurnal.sk)
