It's difficult to see the glass ceiling because it's made of glass. Virtually invisible. What we need is for more birds to fly above it and shit all over it, so we can see it properly.

About This Quote

In a work environment, if there is a glass ceiling, it is tricky to see the ceiling. It is called a glass ceiling because it is so difficult to see from below. It is made of glass and you have to be able to see the ceiling from above to truly see it. In a company, there are often invisible barriers that confine a worker in his position.

For example, a man who has high potential might not get promoted because he lacks experience or skills that are required in order for him to advance. He might have good ideas but just doesn’t have the skills required for advancement. That person is referred to as a bird with wings above the ceiling.
