I tend to get pretty fired up and passionate about standing on principle so it’s not like I’d roll over on some false charges.
I know five guys who have gotten accused of this. Three didn't get fired due to lack of evidence, and two were fired. Of the three one had to pay $15,000 in legal fees and lost six months pay, and the other two were able to survive the company investigation. Two others got fired, and deserved it.
Its not just a matter of rolling on false charges. Its what it costs you in terms money, stress, and reputation. Its just not worth the risk of some crazy FA getting half crocked and coming after you.
