Escapologize

Verb - When you attempt to atone for an indiscretion without using conventional methods such as buying a gift or simply saying, "I'm Sorry."
Example 1

Employee 2 - No way, that's a one-way ticket to the gallows. I escapologized; I said, "Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I will modify my practices in order to mitigate these losses," to which the boss replied, "That's all we ask. Now get back to work!

Example 2
