"At the bottom of the ladder" = dưới đáy thang -> nghĩa là giữ vị trí thấp nhất, cơ bản nhất trong nhóm/tổ chức.

Ví dụ
Now I got a little more serious (nghiêm túc) and said, “Here’s the problem. Sometimes people, even our friends, will be sitting at the bottom of the ladders and look up to see you climbing (trèo lên) the ladder. They may yell (la ó) up and ask what you are doing. Maybe they will change their mind and join you in climbing, but more often than not, they will feel bad that you were climbing the ladder and they are not. Instead of climbing the ladder, do you know what they sometimes do? They will shake the ladder to try and get you to come down.

Despite those woes (tai ương), Soward said there's no doubt the team shouldn't be scrapping at the bottom of the ladder with strugglers (người đấu tranh) like Gold Coast. "The Dragons have got a roster at the moment that should be a top four team - a top five team at worst - and they haven't been able to put the results on," Soward said.
