Once again evidence that anything said in an interview with internal investigators can be used against you, but will never be used to clear your name or save your job. The investigators, oftentimes acting in a "good cop bad cop" pair, pretend that your full disclosure will help them in determining whether you can keep your job. But, in reality your job is already gone. It's just a ruse to see if you will make their job easy by providing an admission of guilt, closing the door to any possible future wrongful termination suits. Since they ambush you, you have no time to prepare a response or consult counsel before responding under duress. If you give them nothing, yes they will likely use the "allegations" language in the disclosures. If you admit guilt, anything you say can and will be used against you. It would be worthwhile for all active Fidelity employees to mentally prepare for this scenario in case it ever happens to you. Many posters on this board see the truth that this is all a way to reduce workforce without high severance and morale costs. Look out if you are a tenured white male. Today the topic is computer reimbursements, tomorrow ???
