Yvonne Abraham: Tom Ashbrook’s apology not accepted
The following is an opinion piece from Boston Globe columnist Yvonne Abraham.
Here’s how to apologize for having treated your employees badly.
Say sorry to the people you actually hurt, rather than to the people who had no idea what was going on. Don’t claim you were blindsided by allegations of mistreatment when you had plenty of warning over the years. Don’t make it about you, even if the “you’’ in question rode east from rural Illinois on a hog truck and went on to become one of the most successful radio hosts in the country.
“Is there a way back?’’ former “On Point’’ host Tom Ashbrook asked in his Globe opinion column this week, asking Boston for another chance after being deposed from the successful WBUR show he helmed for 16 years.
