Sometimes it seems just the opposite... As soon as you find someone competent, they are replaced by someone useless. One of the old "Laws of Man" says that no matter what the job, there is somebody, somewhere, who can't do it, and that given enough time, that very person will end up with that job...

Keep in mind there are people who continually try to disprove and don't agree with the "Peter Principle", and then all of a sudden...

What works well with "those" types is to give them a reason to live, and disprove their parents' deepest fear of him/her being total failure in life. I'll usually try to boost their ego by showing extreme gratitude for having an educated and knowledgeable person trying to help me.
