Just like a criminal who blew their cover, they’re sorry not for the infraction, but for getting caught.

I'm pretty sure the headline is sarcasm.

Statements like that one deserve all the ridicule we can pile upon them.

I am truly, deeply sorry for revealing my true feelings on how much I value some of the employees that helped me become utterly, filthy rich. It will not happen again.

we must be the same age or have the same sense of humor. This is what my mind went to immediately.

Imagine how broken society has to be for this situation to occur in the first place, and then only need to issue a public apology to not get cancelled by the potential mob backlash.

It's very clear that reality happens in private and a 'im sowwy' should not be the only downside of devaluing life..

Or build yourself a bubble and then ignore everything outside of it? *shrug

Goldman Sachs renamed HR human capital management when they were still known for being the smartest people on the street. So the convention of calling employees human capital stuck. From there I can totally see how the other, much longer-lived, convention of rating employees as high and low value bled over.

They have run out of euphemisms.
