What You Deny For Others You Demand For Yourself

In this unapologetic episode of The Salty Goddess Podcast, Anne Margaret Perry dismantles one of the most toxic workplace behaviors of our time: people who expect excellence from others while delivering mediocrity themselves.

We’re talking about:

• Leaders who don’t lead

• Professionals who don’t perform

• And systems that reward bare minimum effort with participation trophies and fake “accomplishments.”

Time is your most valuable currency — and when people waste it with incompetence, avoidance, and performative productivity, they rob everyone around them.

This episode dives into:
✔️ Double standards in leadership
✔️ Accountability vs entitlement
✔️ Why low expectations breed low results
✔️ The danger of certification culture without competence
✔️ How “busy” became a cover story for useless
✔️ Why real growth requires raising the damn standard

If you’re tired of carrying teams, covering for incompetence, and watching unqualified people collect praise they didn’t earn, this episode will give you language, clarity, and permission to stop enabling nonsense.

Because accomplishments that are handed out like participation trophies aren’t worth the paper their certificates are printed on.

And if you demand excellence from others…
You better be willing to live it yourself.
