The Sticky Floor

Thereby this phenomenon is related to gender differentials at the bottom of the wage distribution.

The sticky floor.

If you notice that the entire floor feels sticky under your feet even when the tile has been freshly mopped the culprit is likely the cleaning solution itself as suggested by the cleanest image. Salt residue will make a floor sticky. In both cases a different cleaning solution is needed to remove the tacky film. Most of the workers who experience the sticky floor are pink collar workers such as secretaries nurses or waitresses.

Luckily in both cases the stickiness is caused by the same issue ph. The sticky floor concept is as the name describes implying there is less of a glass ceiling than one may have thought previously but rather as a woman that i am somehow unknowingly sabotaging my own efforts to achieve that senior level position. The ph of a chemical is what removes soils from the surface. Expression used as a metaphor to point to a discriminatory employment pattern that keeps workers mainly women in the lower ranks of the job scale with low mobility and invisible barriers to career advancement.

Most of the time stickiness is caused by residue left behind the adhesive substances such as soft drink glue or grease which by one way or another attached to your floor. None of the examples utilized in the book resonated with me. The term sticky floor is used to describe a discriminatory employment pattern that keeps a certain group of people at the bottom of the job scale. In the literature on gender discrimination the concept of sticky floors complements the concept of a glass ceiling.

The grease released by pan frying gets into the air or ends up on the floor.
