As stated in the Heneman text, the "glass ceiling" is a term used to characterize strong but invisible barriers for women and minorities to promotion in the organization, particularly to the highest levels.
To make an assumption on glass ceilings I guess I would have to say that I haven't been personally affected by it. But sometimes I think that the "glass ceiling" card gets played when it is convenient. Yes, men sometimes seem to have it all but please if women and/or minorities want it bad enough and are goal oriented they can also have it. We live in a great country and we can succeed. The question is whether or not we want to? We have so much that is offered in the United States to women and most definitely minorites that we are the fools when we dont take advatage of it.
As for "glass ceilings" we have built and created them so if you want to blame someone when you think that they are there, blame yourself! Break the glass !
