A comment on Why do incompetent managers get promoted?.
It's a viable career strategy. It's hard to hire, so if you stick around you'll have more responsibility fall into your lap.

As an aside, my advice to people stuck under a crappy manager is to get out ASAP. You can even switch teams and be under the same skip manager.
