What would happen if you told your boss "mistakes were made"?

[undeterred]

Isn't that the ultimate way of saying "I take no responsibility"?

[Midlodemocrat]

1. I wouldn't say it. I would take responsibility for my actions

But, my mistakes certainly don't carry the gravity of these idiots.

[Gormy Cuss]

2. Those are weasel words.

The passive voice neatly avoids blaming anyone.

[InternalDialogue]

3. In a perfect world, "mistakes were made" would be followed by:

"jobs were lost"

"reparations were forced to be made"

and

"new positions were searched for"

[undeterred]

5. "senior white house officials were impeached"

:rofl:

4. Just don't follow it up with "I ran over your dog..."

"And by dog, I mean child...repeatedly."
