    Peter principle goes for everyone. Not just idiots

    You are generally promoted based on your skill in your previous job. So when you are no longer proficient you are no longer eligible for promotion and you are stuck in a position you no longer excel at.

    You can’t go back because it would probably be a paycut

      But you can be fired and replaced by somebody else… or just fired, coworkers pick up the slack, for usually no pay increase.

      Yet narccisistic idiots persist particularly well in management, at an inverse proportion to how specialized their actual work is.

      Which should be the opposite of what you’d expect, because managers are generalists, easy to find and replace.

      … but, the narcissistic culture / personality types of particularly management functions on the narcissistic masturbation of nepotism.

      They protect themselves and their own, to the extent that both their personalities and social roles (jobs) are similar… remind them of themselves.
