Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook apology is the linguistic equivalent of ‘shit happens’
Linguistic professor Annabelle Lukin analyses the corporate comms minefield that was Mark Zuckerberg’s less-than-sincere apology in this crossposting from The Conversation.
A corporate apology echoes the words we are so familiar with from our everyday lives – but it is a distinct beast. It happens under the glare of media and is issued by an office holder in a complex management structure, to a mass and impersonalised audience.

Facebook is now on the greed train. Purpose aside (because it doesn’t count anymore); it’s $’s first, at all costs, or else. As a result of this, people will be getting shafted and ZukkaBee will be raking it in. Greed cuts out rationale and common sense. Greed, greed, greed. That is what it is and that is how it will remain.
If it is about purpose and not greed then Facebook would not give their sales teams quota’s – simples!
