Also referred to as "doubling-down" and a frequent tool of just genuinely bad people.
I see it more as a passive-aggressive way of doubling-down; cf. "I'm sorry you feel that way." I have a specific current example but, unfortunately, referencing it would likely go down a rabbit hole that is not permitted here.I think doubling-down is a little different in that it actually confronts a controversy by going "So? Yeah, I said it and if anything I think I understated it." The nonapology is more of "I'm going to do anything other than apologize what I said, but I don't want to take the hit for it." That hit can be PR or legal, but either way, its kind of dodging the issue, where the double-down doesn't do that; if anything it turns the heat on the situation up.
And then there's the Backhanded Apology, which is an insult phrased as an apology: "I'm sorry you are too stupid to understand my point," for example, or "I'm sorry you are so sensitive."I think doubling-down is a little different in that it actually confronts a controversy by going "So?

It's possible to sincerely apologize for, say, hurting someone's feelings, while also refusing to recant the core of what you said. This is a very narrow strait to navigate, without question.I see it more as a passive-aggressive way of doubling-down; cf. "I'm sorry you feel that way."

I think we're in for a bloodbath over the next few years, job market-wise.Personal life is one thing, professional? Feels like we are gearing up for another round of layoffs, and people are starting to scramble as is.
It's the part of the tariffs that nobody wants to talk about. Prices are up, sales are down, and Cost Recovery is the catchphrase in every shareholder meeting at the moment. And I know that staff reduction is one of the most-used methods for controlling costs.I think we're in for a bloodbath over the next few years, job market-wise.
Yeah. We mostly drink tea rather than coffee but get coffee on occasion. The price doubled since we bought coffee last. We’re moving completely to tea as a result.It's the part of the tariffs that nobody wants to talk about.

Sure, the market will eventually recover but that can take years. I suspect it will be a very ugly holiday season.
