Barry is the ultimate fulfillment of the Peter Principle.

“The Peter Principle is the principle that “In a Hierarchy Every Employee Tends to Rise to His Level of Incompetence.”

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

“The Peter Principle is the principle that “In a Hierarchy Every Employee Tends to Rise to His Level of Incompetence.”

As student of the Peter Principle, I think it’s necessary that the rest of this quote be mentioned: Once reaching that level, the employee “stays there”.

Pray that an exception is made in this case. Of course, “The One” probably feels that he has one more level to attain...

Actually not. The Peter Principle is that an employee ceases to rise once the level of incompetance is reached- the first job he failed at. That would have been "community organiser"

He violates the Peter principle! He is far, far above his level of incompetence! He is a Post Turtle.
