This one sounds pretty genuine. With something of this nature you'd be stupid not to have PR people help out, but it does sound genuine.
It sounds like he's stepping back and taking a very hard look at his actions and behavior. Hopefully he improves and doesn't do the same in the future.
Also, hopefully other similarly situated people see this and learn from his (now very public) mistakes.
- ceejayoz 9y agoThe best PR is usually going to be PR that doesn't sound like PR. I do hope people learn from this, but I tend to be dubious of "I've changed!" statements immediately after getting caught.
- thehardsphere 9y agoWell, let's be fair here: He didn't say "I've changed" he said "I am trying to change." And this isn't necessarily immediately after getting caught, but after the story was published in the New York Times; it's implied earlier that other people in the company approached him and explained to him that his behavior was unacceptable. I think it's PR, but that doesn't automatically mean he isn't genuinely apologizing. The two are not mutually exclusive.
