It is because people rarely get managerial jobs because they have good managerial skills.

They either get the job by default for being there so long or get promoted out of the way because they are a danger when doing actual work.

Good managers move jobs, bad managers stay for ever whilst their staff leave, are replaced, leave and so on.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.
