    So true. I’ve seen promises broken for a multitude of reasons: malice, ignorance, naivity, legality…we always reach for malice but it isn’t always.

    Same deal though - a company will break promises, so don’t feel any obligation on your part. Of course this needs to be balanced with your reputation in your industry.

      Its not malice. Its just something they said. It was empty words. Never an intention to keep it.

          Malice requires thinking of you as something other than an object to use in the first place. They don’t want to hurt you; they have no concept that there is a ‘you’.
