Glass Ceiling

0

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am Gregor Barth and I go to school in the business high school at Perg in Upper Austria. Yesterday I was reading an article in the online edition of BBC News and the headline was “Female Managers say glass ceiling intact”.

Basically, what it talks about is that it is harder for women to climb higher rated positions than men. The Institute of Leadership and Management conducted a survey, which shows that 75% of women still face barriers to top level promotion. So, it was confirmed that the glass ceiling still exists.

It also says that the government of the UK is willing to set a two-year time frame for the companies. Thereby they want to achieve, that the number of women on their boards increases.

What shocked me most was that only 12 out of 100 FTSE directors are female.

In my opinion, women are not as much as disadvantaged as it stands in this article because the aim of every boss of a company is to find the most suitable workers for their company. So, it doesn’t matter if the boss is a man or a woman.


What do you think about the glass ceiling?
