1. In a hierarchy, individuals tent to rise to their level of incompetence.
2. The cream rises until it sours.
3. For every job that exists in the world, there is someone,
somewhere, who can't do it. Given enough promotions, that
incompetent will get the job.
4. All useful work is done by individuals who haven't yet reached
their level of incompetence.
