Peter Principal
…It states that members of a hierarchical organization are eventually promoted to their highest level of competence after which further promotion raises them to a level at which they may become incompetent. Such a level is called the employee’s “level of incompetence”, at which the employee has a dismal or no chance at all of being promoted any farther, thus achieving the ceiling of his or her career growth within a given organization…
In other words, everyone is slowly working towards becoming incompetent! Or even more simply:
In a hierarchy, every employee tends to rise to his level of incompetence
