    Corporate thought also simultaneously believes the reverse:

    Things aren’t getting done? The team that went from 11 members to 3 while their incoming work rate tripled must not be working hard enough. We should consider outsourcing.

            That is basically the opposite of the peter principle. The peter principle is that you are promoted based on actual skills in your current role, until you reach a role where you do not have the necessary skills
