I think Zed's suggestion incorrigible is the right word, although it is usually used playfully. ( "Oh James, you're incorrigible!" exclaimed Miss Moneypenny.) IncorrigibleEtymology: Middle English, from Late Latin incorrigibilis, from Latin in- + corrigere to correct -- more at CORRECT : incapable of being corrected or amended: as a (1) : not reformable : DEPRAVED (2) : DELINQUENT b : not manageable : UNRULY c : UNALTERABLE, INVETERATE

There is an Irish word that fits this kind of person perfectly.... I have no idea of the Irish spelling but it is pronounced Cullshe
Applied usually to country folks who come to the big city, get a job by accident, don't do anything right, and eventually become the CEO !
