As the marketing director for Sarah's Sharks, Gloria Riviera is particularly well aware of diversity within the firm's clients in the marketplace. As a successful female manager, she is also sensitive to the importance of diversity among employees at Sarah's Sharks. Although she loves her job, Gloria is contemplating leaving it to focus her energy on parenting her three children. This would demonstrate which factor affecting women's careers?

The options are given below:

A. Female advantage

B. Opt-out trend

C. Glass ceiling

D. Glass wall

E. Opaque ceiling

The correct option is B.

Explanation:

Opt-out trend refers to the tendency of women to voluntarily leave the workforce or the corporate fast track for various reasons.

As we can see from the scenario presented above, Gloria is contemplating leaving her job so that she can focus on her three children. She wants to make this decision despite the fact that she loves her job and also a successful female manager.

This is the opt-out trend, and it is common among women, especially mothers who need time to focus on their children.
