I think the classic analysis of the problem was the one Lawrence J. Peter gave in "The Peter Principle", where the basic issue was that people were promoted to their level of incompetence. Folks who should never be managers get put into managerial slots because there isn't another growth path.
The most common example is technology, where good engineers get promoted to supervisors and things rapidly degrade. Engineers are good at dealing with rational problems and things that behave in predictable ways. Managers have to deal with human beings, who are often neither.

I went to my bank today to get some information about making an international wire transfer, bank to bank. Seemed to me that this should be a fairly common thing that banks do, right? Wrong!

It could be worse, you at least speak the language and they will keep escalating it up to someone who can handle it. I was told point blank that "It isn't possible to transfer money to Canada" I went across the hall to a Canadian band (Scotia Bank) and in 30 minutes I had a new account, transfered all my money from the other bank (Maybank) and the money was transfered, all this and they got me coffee.
