| Jun 8, 2018 at 19:49 | comment | added | Anonymous Coward | @GeoffreyBrent Being able to face the consequences of fighting back or the consequences of accepting oppression is way better than this third option. So, yes, worst option of the three, yet better than pondering the situation without ever reaching a resolution. A mediocre plan is better than none. | |
| May 31, 2018 at 5:46 | comment | added | G_B | I'm having real difficulty imagining a scenario where "As ordered by X, I apologize" would be a good idea. Have you actually seen this done? Did it improve the situation? | |
| May 22, 2018 at 20:08 | comment | added | Anonymous Coward | @Rick Yes. Diligence implies a minimun of preparation. Getting prepared for scheduled unfamiliar situations is something under your control. | |
| May 22, 2018 at 13:29 | comment | added | Eph | What if given the knowledge you had at the time, more diligence would not have helped prevent the offence, but with a bit a research and understanding, the offence could have been easily avoided? Is that covered under the having more diligence clause? | |
| May 22, 2018 at 13:22 | comment | added | Flater | And then there's the implication that "fighting back" and "accepting oppression" are a binary choice, with an exceptional third option of expressing explicit reluctance (thus defeating the point of the apology). This is just causing more issues rather than fixing them. | |
| May 22, 2018 at 13:19 | comment | added | Flater | This diagram is just bad. (1) Your decision on as to whether to apologize or not hinges on whether the other party holds power over you; as opposed to a moral consideration. So if a CEO inadvertently offends an employee of theirs, they shouldn't actually apologize? (2) Furthermore, you're saying that someone who meant to be offensive shoud apologize, but someone who didn't mean to be offensive (but is now being reprimanded by someone who has no power over them) should not apologize. I can't even begin to comprehend the logic behind that. | |

| May 22, 2018 at 5:25 | comment | added | Dan Romik | Did you make the decision tree diagram yourself? If not, can you please post a link to where you it came from? | |
| May 21, 2018 at 21:25 | comment | added | GEdgar | Off-topic I guess. Refers to your last box "As ordered by X, I apologize". There is a really great apology scene (by Robert De Niro) in the movie "The Mission" (1986). | |
