How a 'broken rung' in the corporate ladder stops women from getting to the top

A sweeping new study that looked at 329 companies employing 13 million people found that women in the workplace have come a long way in recent years -- but it's not a"glass ceiling" that is keeping women from the top, but a"broken rung" on the corporate ladder.

"For me, the biggest takeaway is that we’ve long thought that the glass ceiling was the problem, that there is this invisible barrier on top of the pipeline that prevents people from rising to leadership," LeanIn.org’s co-founder and CEO, Rachel Thomas, told ABC News."It's really at that first step up into management, that broken rung."

"One thing that's interesting is how many companies don't realize that it's an issue," Krivkovich added."You can't solve the problem until you first recognize that it is one." "Women face real headwinds in their advancement," Krivkovich said."While women demonstrate similar levels of ambition, they have very different day-to-day experiences."

I thought you were a trustworthy news organization. This is reprehensible.

Lies

The problem with the first rung is getting women to apply for the first rung level management position. Based on my observation, women are less interested in entering the management workforce so fewer women than men apply for that 'first rung' management position.

Liars. I don’t believe anything you say or print. 🖕

Oh, OK, are you going to actually TELL THE TRUTH THIS TIME, ABC, or is this jusf another 'mistake' about which 'questions will be raised'?

Let's dispense with these silly expressions. It's clear, men, particularly white men, are ruthless in gaining and controlling power and keeping it out of the hands of females and people of color.

There have also been reports of “greased light poles” and “upside down stairwells” in the corporate environment.

We are ALL “people of colour”! RACIST TERMINOLOGY
