Need to throw shade on a situation where a spot was given to someone who didn’t deserve it. Need a turn of phrase dealing with “you earn what you get”. I know there are some epic smart asses here who can throw shade with the best of them. Give me some ideas

Person was given a managerial position because of their name/relationship. Didn’t earn it by any other way. Completely unqualified

If you wanted Jaxxton to play shortstop, you should have started your own team.

That situation stings but they have to appear to be proficient at something they aren't proficient at.

I default to this
"congrats, let me know when you need help"

Emphasis on the need.

Sometimes you don't get what you earn, and sometimes you didn't earn what you got.

Sounds like this is a clear cut situation of “who you know”

Ill expand a bit on this one.

It's not who you know or who you blow, its how you blow who you know.

Necrophilia, narcissism, nepotism....which 2 of the 3 do you have?

More alliterative than punny but hey, I don’t even know you.
