The Peter Principal

1 Conversation

The Peter Principal goes a bit like this; "A person is promoted to the level of their incompetence".
Or in other words if you are good at a job you are promoted. You may well be good at the job to which you have been promoted. Then the inevitable happens, you are promoted to a job at which you struggle and are unhappy doing. No way down no way up, just a dead end of 9 to 5 plus unpaid over time.
Better to read; the peter principal first and enjoy what you do. Do not get promoted beyond your abilities and have a happy life :-) GVM
