No glass ceiling? Fri Dec 30, 2005 17:57 pm  No glass ceiling?		  
Hi, could you please tell me if the expression there is no glass ceiling is a popular one? I understand that this phrase means that an employee has the chance to get promoted to any level of the company hierarchy without restrictions (with no glass ceiling). Is this an American idiom or is this phrased also used in the UK?
Thanks in advance!

It is common in the US and Canada, at least.
