TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
The Peter Principle seems most applicable to business management,
especially at the director and higher level. The flaw with trying to
apply it to lower ranking staff is its assumption that once someone
rises to the level of his or her incompetence he or she will be left
there and never fired, and while there certainly must be some companies
that are reluctant to fire people at lower staff levels, I've not
encountered one myself.
