Glass Ceiling Discrimination in Georgia and Florida

“Glass ceiling” refers to the unofficial and invisible barriers that often prevent female employees, ethnic and religious minorities, people of color, and other historically disadvantaged groups from rising to high-level executive positions.

If you believe that your career advancement has stalled because of your gender, race, religion, national origin, or sexual orientation, call our team at The Leach Firm at (844) 722-7567. Our experienced, diverse legal team helps Florida and Georgia employees build powerful glass ceiling discrimination cases.

Proving Glass Ceiling Discrimination

Every glass ceiling discrimination case starts with the basics. As the employee and plaintiff, you must show that:

• You are a member of a protected group (like women, minorities, or people of color)
• Your qualifications matched the promotion you applied for
• The person selected for the position had similar or lesser qualifications

The challenging part in glass ceiling cases is proving the employer’s intent of discrimination. The employer will claim that they refused to advance you for purely professional reasons, like lack of leadership skills or insufficient experience.

Our skilled legal team can help you compile and present evidence of promotion discrimination. For example, we can work to prove that:

• Your employer favored a candidate with significantly inferior qualifications compared to yours
• Your employer gave inconsistent or implausible reasons for refusing to promote you
• Male or non-minority employees in positions similar to yours received preferential treatment, like leadership training or access to better resources

Compensation for Glass Ceiling Discrimination

Every glass ceiling discrimination lawsuit is unique, and it is hard to predict what compensation you might expect. A Georgia or Florida court may rule that your employer must pay:

• Back pay and compensatory damages
• Make-whole relief—i.e., placing you in the position you should have rightfully occupied
• Punitive damages
• Attorney’s fees and litigation costs
