There’s also that whole thing about people getting promoted to management positions without actually learning how to manage anything. Failing upward, I think it’s called? So they might have been good at the lower level position they were in and then get promoted to a position they have no idea what they are doing in.

Oh yeah that’s the Peter principle I think. Or closely related.
Someone is good at job A, so they promoted to B. They’re good at B, so they get promoted to C. They’re kind of bad at C, so they stay there.
Over time, all roles fill up with people who are kind of bad.
