The article - Female managers 'squeezed out' (BBC News) - unsurprisngly, does not go into any great depth or breadth, but what concerns me the most is the use of the term "organizational life"; as if organization have a life of their own and no-one is to blame if organizations produce something beyond the purpose they were initially designed to serve. In other words, organizational (or instutionalised) sexism, racism, ageism, etc. are often portrayed as being accidental by-products of formal organizational objectives, or heavily related to the problems that individuals need to sort out for themselves. I believe much more needs to be done to make organizations accountable for everything they create and an end to blaming organizational ills on individuals who contributed little or even nothing to their subjectivity.
