Words are just that words. Only people who spout crap like that are managers and such folk. Most people who are geuinuely sorry show it in their actions. |

A corporate and business apology means fuck all. The closest they are sorry for is how it reflects upon them. Regret for the decision they made which hurts their reputation and income.
There is not a business past or present, nor future that is truely sorry for anything they have said or done. They would have continued getting away with it guilt free if they would not have been caught or challenged.
They are often then also too spineless to stand behind a decision at times, and bend to the will of their damaged reputation to gain favour again. |

Too fucking often.
The word sorry immediately gets my back up.
A proper apology, expressing that they know how and why what they did was wrong or hurtful, with a plan to do or be better in the future, doesn't need that pointless word that only exists to soothe the conscience of the person who did wrong.
Generally, if someone just tells me they're sorry, my gut reaction is "No, you're not." |

Not often do I get told sorry by someone who has done wrong but when I do get told it that then lifts my heart a bit
When you have a parent that is unapologetic and then people who are too its nicer to hear it and see it is meant because they don't make that same mistake again or others
I always say pride should stop in our apperance |

Sorry isn't just a word, it's also an action, of amending your behaviour otherwise it's just empty and shallow |

Oh I have a big thing surrounding the word sorry. I'm like Prey in how she views it.
I'm sorry you're feeling that way etc is another corporate speak. I think unless you're genuinely sorry, it perhaps doesn't need to be said?
I only say sorry if I'm genuinely apologetic and will make an effort to action my words. To not cause whatever negative response I'm replying to.
Else it's just utter bollocks.
Sounds nice. Pretty empty as a word. |

I agree that you have to mean it, which means you’re not going to do the twattish thing again. Talk is cheap.
As for the word, it’s a good opener to get people ready for what you want to really say next. If the word itself already gets the hackles up, that’s an extra layer of difficulty to deal with but most people wouldn’t guess. |

Yup!! …and their “get our jail free, card” is “lessons have been learned” …I’m waiting for those NHS “managers” who let a murderer go about her day, murdering babies, say that to any TV news crew stupid enough not to question “which lessons, and what did you learn?” |

You should only apologise if you feel you are totally in the wrong and you should truly mean it.My manager has been waiting for a apology from me since February 2021 but as I felt she had been provoking a reaction from me for a few months prior to me walking out I feel that she should have apologised to me. |

Or they are introducing new checks and balances - fuck off!! It means nothing to the people who have lost children to that despicable c£nt!! You were grossly negligent and there will be months of record redaction and accidental deletion to cover arses before an inquiry finds there were systemic failures which have now been addressed but can’t isolate any individual or group who they can hold responsible.
Sorry.. not like me to explode but this one really boiled my piss  |

Actually genuinely sorry about that - kind if ironic given the thread |
