Hot take: a guy at a Nashville diner told me he forgave his old boss on the spot, and it made me wonder about public apologies
Last month I sat next to a guy at a diner in Nashville who said his old boss screwed him out of $4,000, and when the boss called to say sorry 2 years later, he forgave him right there on the phone. He said the apology felt real because the guy named the exact amount and what he did wrong, no excuses. But my sister thinks a public figure can never really prove an apology is real, since they might just want their job back. I keep going back and forth on it. Where do you all land on whether a specific, detailed apology counts for more than a general one?
