Kicking away the ladder refers to the act of people, who have achieved success in a certain field, hindering or restraining others from coming up behind them. It intensifies generational and social conflicts and the gap between the rich and the poor.

“Kicking away the ladder is a selfish act that takes away the opportunity for talented people to be hired, and it widens the gap between the rich and the poor. This brings only disadvantages, both as an individual and as a society, and should be avoided.”
