rewarded incompetence

When there is a task or job function that you consistently screw up so the organization assigns the task to someone else, this rewarding the incompetence with lower responsibility.
Jim was responsible for printing and applying the labels to the shipping boxes, but kept putting the wrong labels on, so it is now his supervisors responsibility. Thus Jim has received rewarded incompetence with lower responsibility.
