Negocios / Comercio (general)
Promotion at work
las mujeres son menos proclives que los hombres a lo que podríamos eufemísticamente denominar “relaciones sociales corporativas”, es decir, a las charlas “insustanciales” durante el trabajo o tras una interminable jornada en la barra del bar más próximo, a jugar al golf los fines de semana con el jefe, o a asistir a esas eternas comidas (o cenas) de trabajo de dos o tres horas de duración que constituyen un fenómeno hispánico digno de estudio. Pero lo cierto es que a nadie se le escapa que estas conductas son muy necesarias para lubricar convenientemente las vías de promoción dentro de las empresas.

: Nice solution. I'd have either said "up the ladder of promotions" or (preferred) "up the corporate ladder."
