I do not know which Murphy’s Law it is but it says that people rise to the level of their own incompetence.

It isn’t.

It is called the Peter Principle.

That’s the “Peter Principle” by Laurance Peter, still a readable book but written in the 1960s. It’s still funny and accurate.

It’s the affirmative action version of the Peter Principle, in which someone in a privileged minority group can rise far beyond his or her level of incompetence.
