Stephanie Byrne

Stephanie Byrne appears in The laws of the office revisited as the episode’s concrete Peter Principle case. She loved a social-media-specialist role at a large university because it involved creativity, independence, and behind-the-scenes work.

After promotion into a web-content role, the job shifted toward meetings, directing other people, and leading trainings. The episode treats her choice to step back into work closer to her strengths as a way to beat the Peter Principle without assuming every upward move is a better fit.
