glass ceiling
Campaigners for equal pay say women face either a glass ceiling because they are passed over for senior positions or a sticky floor because they are stuck in menial jobs.
Women often find it easy to get low-paid, part-time jobs but once in them, they find it difficult to progress - the sticky floors effect.
This book approaches sticky floors in the workplace in an easy, very readable style and gives good advice to help you.
