I felt the same way. I can see his remorse and genuine care for his family which makes me feel a bit sad.
...you do realise that every word of this would have been written by a top-flight crisis management PR agency?
He would have presumably signed off on it, but refusing to do, or questioning their judgement, would look very bad to the board.
So said every adulterer ever, after the event ... fuck that bullshit.
I'm not saying crucify him. We all make mistakes. But he doesn't deserve your sadness. His family does.
He made a horrible mistake which should serve as a cautionary tale and reminder to us ... that's all.
And the spy angle, and how that's being defended? Nauseating ...
Uh, Do you feel sad for his family or sad for him, because I think he's a real POS. We men should lead by example. He's a leader, but behaves like a weak coward.
It's not hard to keep it zipped up in the pants.
They played you like a fiddle. Your comment will end up on some PR agency's pitch deck.
It's so depressing to see people eat this up.
They're just words, brother. Don't get fooled by anything a CEO says. They say whatever people want to hear.
