If you are ever in a situation where you have to apologize. Give one heartfelt apology and move on. Repeatedly apologizing will only make it worse.

Wish my boss could see this. I received 4 apologies in our 4 last one-to-ones (that's over a year period). We were reviewing my position and performance at work. From what he says, I do a great job, he's very happy with me and keeps giving me more responsibilities. BUT he screwed up and promised me salary increases that didn't/will not happen. I finally got one in writings that is coming in effect next year, but is 6 months late. And we had agreed verbally on another one with a change of job title and more responsibilities, but this one is off the table since I'm insisting on getting everything in writings (that's job title + job description + how much + when) I could have taken the job, but with no guarantee of salary increase and without knowing what level it would be. So we keep having these meetings, and he keeps apologising about what a messy situation this is, but isn't doing anything to fix the situation. Make one feels undervalued and frustrated, especially since he was the one to bring up the salary increase in the first place.

LPT: Take a few days to familiarize yourself with a spreadsheet app (e.g., MS Excel, Google Sheets). The uses are endless for school, the office, life, and other people will think you're a wizard. LPT: If you find a faster way to do something at your work, keep it a secret from your manager. LPT: Always remember; no reaction IS a reactiom. LPT: If a job won’t tell you the wage before the interview, leave. If they don’t tell you, then it’s not a wage you’d be able to take. And they know it. They want you to invest all your time and energy interviewing so when they lowball you, you fall victim to the fallacy of sunk costs. LPT Request: Is there a way to become warm and bubbly person? LPT: Check on your friends who just had a baby. Ask if they need company, or anything, really. Keep calling them to social events, even if they are unable to attend for a good few months. Their routine has abruptly changed, hence most "friends" just vanish. LPT request: how to get up in the right time? LPT: Get a Prenup. It is far easier to decide how materials and custody should be divided while both parties are on good terms. It'll save you both a lot of time and money. LPT: One of the biggest mistakes you could make when trying to climb any company’s ladder is believing that your skill, talent, and work ethic will be noticed and rewarded. More often than not, the only thing holding you back is keeping your mouth shut.
