glass floors
we're all familiar with glass ceilings. today i'm going to make the case that a glass ceiling is also a glass floor. talented people can't ascend through the hierarchy higher than the glass ceiling. likewise, talentless people can't descend through the glass floor. the stereotype of the incompetent boss is very strong. how hard is it to make ends meet? you're running into the glass ceiling. meanwhile folks on the other side spend spend spend without a care in the world. you're feeling the recession. they've already recovered. or just plain missed it entirely. think about glass floors the next time someone insists we need to cut taxes for the rich. think about how much you want to smash that glass floor and let them lazy talentless boobs descend into *gasp* middle class.
