Answer:

The Peter principle

Explanation:

This is an example of the Peter principle. This principle states that in most companies, employees who are capable continuously rise through promotions, until they reach a position that they are not able to handle well. They will then become stuck in this position because they will not demonstrate skills that would lead them to additional promotions. Therefore, over time, most positions in a hierarchy will be filled by people who are incompetent at their jobs.
