Wait, Peter's Principle? If that's "promoted to their level of incompetence", shouldn't it describe managers who can do their subordinate's work but not their own?
This sounds closer to the Dilbert Principle, honestly - people who get hired as managers but could never have held the job below theirs.
- mmjaa 9y agoThey are incompetent managers, promoted up the 'management chain' to a position of incompetence, which is due to the fact that they can't do the job of the people they are managing. They are 'management people' who have gone as far necessary to be outside their competence level.
