Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : &amp;#x200B;

**AITA for not being bothered by the fact that I'm only getting promoted because I made a good impression on the head of my company and not because of my work ethic?**

^(Throwaway bc I'm paranoid that someone I work with will see this.)

I started a new job about 5 and a half months ago.  It was a career change for me, so even though I'm \[super\] overqualified for my position, I was excited for the opportunity to be in a field that I actually wanted to eventually advance in.  

&amp;#x200B;

I quickly realized that the head of our company is a giant flirt, so much so that people have quit because they were made to be uncomfortable by his behavior.  I'm not the kind of person to be easily offended; if anything, I saw his approaching me to be nothing less than an opportunity, plus, he wasn't saying anything that was even remotely offensive.

&amp;#x200B;

I figured that engaging with him enough to make him like me, but not enough for him to think that I'm flirting back/not enough for him to have evidence (so to speak) that would backfire on me, there was no way that I could be hurt in this situation.  I was going to milk this dude and make it so that I end up on top in the end. 

&amp;#x200B;

Well, my plan worked.  I found out that in a couple of weeks, I'm going to be promoted into an *actual* role (my position now is admin and this new role is, well, not).  I'm definitely qualified to do it, but, again, I've only been here for a couple months and I haven't done much by way of proving myself.  I know for a fact that I've only been promoted because our head honcho likes me.  This does not bother me in the slightest.  I believe that this is just the world we live in.  It's all about who you know to get you there, but *staying* there is what really matters.  Anyone can get you a job; you just have to prove after the fact that you were the best choice for it.  That's what I'm ready to do.

&amp;#x200B;

My co-workers think that I'm an idiot.  They don't think that I should have engaged with him at all in the first place and that it doesn't matter that it worked out for me in the end.  I disagree.  I'm getting a significant pay raise and about to climb the ladder up towards something that I actually want to continue doing for the long run.  They argue that the last time he was this close to a staff member, he said something inappropriate to her, she quit, and she had to sign an NDA and was paid half a year's salary on the spot.  I'm enough of an asshole to admit that this scenario doesn't seem to bad to me, but that's not the point.

**So, AITA for not being above nepotism?**
