> Le principe de Peter plonge tout lecteur dans l'émerveillement, en lui faisant découvrir qu'un patron, un chef de service peuvent être moins compétents qu'il ne le suppose et que, malgré cette incompétence, ils ont pu s'élever très haut dans l'échelle sociale. Il en vient alors à se poser la question : et moi, et moi, et moi ?
