>people in a hierarchy tend to rise to their "level of incompetence".

>employees are promoted based on their success in previous jobs until they reach a level at which they are no longer competent, as skills in one job do not necessarily translate to another

Note that the original text was satire, but the idea itself is quite satisfying, and if true would explain all the bad bosses in the world.

Yeah, it's something akin to the Peter Principle. Except I'm not being promoted. I'm still in the same position, except I always get assigned to do stuff I have no clue about, while there are a thousand other areas in the project where I could be doing my best work. I don't understand it.
