In a business world “never” should be interpreted as “next 3 years”. Even if the one making a claim/promise genuinely mean literally never, the circumstances change. And when they do it is naive to expect them to not react. Don’t be dogmatic about attaching literal meaning to what’s said.
- approxim8ion 5y agoWhy shift the onus onto the person interpreting it instead of letting people be accountable for the things they say?
- jfrunyon 5y agoOr perhaps it's naive (and misleading and fraudulent) for business leaders to say "never" when they know it's not true and/or that they can't guarantee it. If you say something, you should mean it, and you should be held to it. Please stop making excuses for liars.
