The Peter Principle theorizes that employees in most organizational hierarchies automatically rise through promotion to higher positions. However, competent employees will be promoted, but will ultimately assume positions for which they are incompetent. The Peter Principle was superseded by the Dilbert Principle1 three decades ago.
1 Companies systematically promote their least-competent employees to management positions to limit the damage they can do, instead of putting them in positions where real work is done.

I always understood the Peter principle to be a promotion to where you were least effective and there you’d stay . . . promoted to peak incompetence.
