adverb/de ɡwateˌmala a ɡwatepeˈoɾ/
out of the frying pan into the fire; going from bad to worse
“Ascender a gerente después de ser cajero es como ir de Guatemala a Guatepeor.” — Advancing to manager after being a cashier is like going from the frying pan into the fire.
Literally, “From Guate-bad to Guate-worse”. A play on the words with Guatemala, changing mala (“bad”) for peor (“worse”), and the expression ir de mal en peor.
