It's hard for me to think of an opposite to the Peter principle as formulated in the article:

"Every new member in a hierarchical organization climbs the hierarchy until he/she reaches his/her level of maximum incompetence"

Every new member moves down in the hierarchy? That doesn't happen in the real world.

"Every new member rises to their level of competence" is also an opposite.

As would be "every old member is demoted in the hierarchy until they reach a level in which they are competent".
