Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The situation described in the scenario where Carol is a high-performing female employee who has been unable to advance to top management level due to her gender is a classic example of the glass ceiling phenomenon. The glass ceiling refers to the invisible but impenetrable barriers that prevent women and minorities from rising to high-level positions in organizations despite their qualifications and achievements. The fact that Carol would be the only female employee at the top management level if promoted suggests that there is a lack of diversity and inclusivity in Pegasus Incorporated's leadership, and that gender bias may be at play in the promotion process.
