Many people are unfamiliar with the concept of the ‘glass ceiling.’ However, many people are also unknown victims of this type of discrimination. The glass ceiling centers on the corporate pyramid. At the top of the pyramid, there is the Chairman of the Board and the President. As you go down the pyramid, and as it widens, you find the Executive Vice Presidents, Senior Vice Presidents, Vice Presidents, Managers, Directors, etc.

The glass ceiling exists when you look at the corporate pyramid and see that you can draw a horizontal line across the pyramid and see that there are no female employees above a certain level. For example, you may find that your corporation does not have any female employees above the level of a Manager. This imaginary boundary is known as the ‘glass ceiling.’ The glass ceiling not only prevents women from climbing the corporate ladder, but it may also prevent people of certain races from advancing as well.

Gender discrimination is not always easy to detect, but sadly it is very common in the workplace. The Equal Employment and Opportunity Commission (EEOC) received over 28,000 allegations of sex based discrimination in 2008 alone.
