The glass ceiling has been cracked however, never broken. Women have always competed against men in their professions. Although, there is a rise in women graduating and working, women still have not yet reached to break the glass ceiling. It is a challenge for women to break the glass ceiling because women experience more problems then men. One of the big issues that women experience is time. In order to reach the top it requires very long work weeks. It is easier for men to work these long hours because men are not traditionally nurtures. Since the traditional role for women is to be nurtures, it takes time to attend to parenting. Since women are being required to work long extensive hours and go through the stereotypes and struggles some women end up ending their position. According to the recording, corporate America requires workers to work long hours during the week which causes women to end their jobs. Women observe how challenging it can be and sometimes quit because they want to have a life and have time for family. I believe that corporate America can’t lure women back into workforce because of the time that is required. For women that have responsibilities such as parenting, corporate America would not be able to retrieve these workers unless the requirement of hours is decreased. However, women who have children and have already raised their children re enter into corporate America. Some women create their own business as a way of re entering into corporate America. Though men are still considered to be the ideal workers, women workers are continuing to increase. However, even though these women workers are continuing to increasing there are those who still decide to leave corporate America because of the stress that remains within it. At what time will the glass ceiling be broken? It is a very difficult journey for women to over take this goal.
