When Saying Sorry Became a Corporate Performance
Picture a groom on his wedding day in 1951, devastated because his morning suit never arrived. Weeks later, he received something extraordinary: a handwritten letter from the company's managing director expressing "unprecedented embarrassment," accompanied by a full refund and a personal check worth hundreds in today's money. This wasn't a PR strategy or damage control-it was genuine human contrition. Fast-forward to today. In January 2018, only two days passed without a major organization issuing a public apology. Tesco alone apologized 13 times in 2017-once every four weeks-despite not being six times worse than they were five years earlier. Google's database reveals that published instances of "sorry" peaked in 2008 at levels unseen since 1629. Yet here's the paradox: in 1953, during unprecedented prosperity, "sorry" hit its lowest point since the 18th century. When people were busier, richer, and happier, they apologized less. Today, we're drowning in apologies that mean nothing.
