#The peter principle movie

For example, it explains why movie sequels are worse than the original film on which they are based and why second visits to restaurants are less rewarding than the first. The same logic applies to other situations. Usually, firms inflate the promotion criterion to offset the Peter principle effect, and the more important the transitory component is relative to total variation in ability, the larger the amount that the standard is inflated. Furthermore, firms that take it into account appropriately adopt an optimal strategy. Rather than evidence of a mistake, the Peter principle is a necessary consequence of any promotion rule. Firms optimally account for the regression bias in making promotion decisions, but the effect is never eliminated. Regression to the mean implies that future ability will be lower, on average. Being promoted is evidence that a standard has been met. Below, it is argued that ability appears lower after promotion purely as a statistical matter.

This view is unnecessary and inconsistent with the data. The Peter principle, which states that people are promoted to their level of incompetence, suggests that something is fundamentally misaligned in the promotion process. Some have observed that individuals perform worse after being promoted.
