Someone made a mistake. Correct it. Move on. Why so apologetic? I personally never apologize for an honest mistake. Humans make mistakes, I make mistakes, mistakes happen, and if it's not a big deal, then there's no need to apologize imo. Apologizing too often leads to a culture where failures are not embraced.
- ropable 5y agoCouldn't disagree more. To me, an apology signals that a mistake was made, noticed, embraced, (hopefully) corrected, and learned from. There's no shame or opprobrium attached to an honest apology, and plenty of potential for improvement. There's quite the opposite attached to a person who blithely handwaves away their own mistakes without any acknowledgement.
