    El Principio de Peter, formulado por Laurence J. Peter, sostiene que en una jerarquía todo empleado tiende a ascender hasta su nivel de incompetencia. Esto sucede porque las organizaciones suelen promocionar a las personas basándose en su desempeño en el puesto actual y no en sus capacidades para el nuevo cargo. Como resultado, con el tiempo, muchos puestos de mando terminan ocupados por profesionales que eran excelentes técnicos pero que carecen de las habilidades necesarias para la gestión, lo que genera un estancamiento en la eficiencia de la organización.

    Según el guion, las jerarquías son estructuras piramidales muy rígidas donde el descenso se percibe como un fracaso estrepitoso o una humillación pública. En lugar de admitir que el sistema de promoción falló, las empresas prefieren mantener al empleado en su nivel de incompetencia. Para mitigar el daño sin degradar al trabajador, las organizaciones a veces recurren a estrategias como el "arabesco lateral", que consiste en crear un puesto con un título rimbombante pero sin funciones reales ni subordinados.

    Peter describe varios comportamientos defensivos que adoptan los jefes incompetentes para ocultar su inseguridad. Entre ellos destacan la "papiromanía" (rodearse de montañas de papeles para aparentar mucho trabajo), el "gigantismo tabulatorio" (obsesión por tener la mesa más grande), el "síndrome de vaivén" (incapacidad para tomar decisiones refugiándose en reuniones eternas) y la "fonofilia" (necesidad de estar siempre en llamadas o videollamadas para sentirse importante). También aparece la "codigofilia inicial", que es el uso excesivo de siglas y tecnicismos para crear una cortina de humo lingüística.

    De acuerdo con la teoría de la jerarquiología, el trabajo real de la organización es realizado por aquellos empleados que todavía no han alcanzado su nivel de máxima inutilidad. Es decir, la empresa sobrevive gracias a los profesionales que aún son competentes en sus puestos actuales y que no han sido "premiados" con un ascenso que los aleje de sus verdaderas habilidades.

    El guion menciona la "incompetencia creadora", que consiste en cultivar un pequeño defecto inofensivo que no afecte la productividad pero que haga que los superiores descarten al empleado para un ascenso a puestos de gestión. Por otro lado, desde la gestión moderna se proponen los "planes de carrera lateral", que permiten que un experto técnico reciba aumentos de sueldo y estatus sin necesidad de convertirse en jefe, permitiéndole seguir brillando en su área de competencia.
