Coming Clean

Monday, October 31, 2011

About once a week we see an article such as this one in The Toronto Star.

A high-profile player resigns after being caught out.

It is never what they did and got caught at that does it.

It is always the denial that they did it.

• You seduced the president’s wife and denied it?

You don’t jump because you seduced; you jump because you were found out to have lied about whether you did or didn’t seduce.

• You falsified the company’s books and denied it?

You don’t jump because you falsified; you jump because you were found out to have lied about whether you did or didn’t falsify.

• You stole the cookie and denied it?

You don’t jump because you stole; you jump because you were found out to have lied about whether you did or didn’t steal.

Cliché alert: Honesty is the best policy.

If you did wrong, ‘fess up and keep your job/position/contract.

For one thing you’ll appear to be human, and humans love humans!
