Riya seems to have hit the glass ceiling, a term used to describe an invisible barrier that prevents women and minorities from advancing to top positions in organizations, despite their qualifications and experience. The fact that only two women or minority candidates have been promoted to upper management positions suggests a lack of diversity and equality within the company.
