Q Describe organizational barriers that put people at a disadvantage for promotion, including corporate culture and the pipeline theory. Use anecdotes from your experiences with these types of barriers.
There is presence of gender bias/sexism, glass ceiling effect, lack of emotional support, lack of empathy, treating employees as machines/non-humans, etc. in the workplace acting as barriers for people to be promoted (Amis et al., 2020). In case of gender bias, there is discrimination mostly against women to not recruit equal or more women than men in the workplace. This is because there is the notion that hiring women would require the organization to provide special facilities for women like long maternal leave, pregnancy leave, etc. (Amis et al., 2020).
