Answer 1

Answer: The glass cliff effect

Explanation:

The glass cliff effect defines a situation whereby women are promoted to precarious or unstable positions when the company is not doing well and when the company is doing well a male individual get appointed to the position.

This is a unnoticeable or silent form of gender discrimination which may negatively impact diversity in the workplace and cripple woman from becoming great leaders.

Eden got promoted 2008 when the company was not making much profit but she got demoted when it probably took off in 2009.
