The Peter Principle

Definition of 'Peter Principle'

An observation that in an organizational hierarchy, every employee will rise or get promoted to his or her level of incompetence. The Peter Principle is based on the notion that employees will get promoted as long as they are competent, but at some point will fail to get promoted beyond a certain job because it has become too challenging for them. Employees rise to their level of incompetence and stay there. Over time, every position in the hierarchy will be filled by someone who is not competent enough to carry out his or her new duties.


Have you experienced this where you work?

Getting it fixed...

We've all been there at some time or another. Vehicles broken down in the driveway or worse yet, at the office. Who ya gonna call?
Up north I had a mobile mechanic who often came right to my home and or office and fixed whatever it was right there. Convenience? Priceless!
Well, I found one right here in Vegas yesterday that I have to say, is incredibly professional, prompt and courteous. Unheard of right? Mobile Mechanics of Las Vegas is who you need to call whenever you are stuck with your vehicle at home or at work. Steve, the owner is one honest guy and immediately sent one of his mechanics named Darryl out to fix my Jeep which had mysteriously decided not to start.  In less than a half an hour, Darryl zeroed in on the problem and fixed it immediately. He even had his pregnant wife in tow as he was heading home. I am blown away by yet another terrific service provided by yet another honest and reputable guy. Not something you find everyday.
I strongly recommend Steve and his crew at Mobile Mechanics of Las Vegas any time you find yourself in a similar situation. I know I will be using them again and will be gladly referring them often.
If you give Steve a call...tell him Bob sent you.
