Question Everything

Meritocracy is not a good way to organize things. In a meritocracy, if your'e good at your job you get promoted. If your good at your next job you get promoted again, etc. This continues until you get a job which your'e not good at. Because you're not good at it you don't get promoted and are stuck there. You keep getting promoted until you get to a job your'e not good at, then you stay there. As a result everyone eventually ends up stuck in a job they're not good at. We rise to our level of incompetence. Meritocracy maximizes incompetency and inefficiency by insuring we all end up in jobs wer'e bad at. It's called the Peter Principle. And this ignores the problems involved in actually implementing a meritocracy and the flaws that all hierarchies have.
