Honesty honestly not the best policy

Deny, deny, deny, or at least don't say it on television. All the fun on Fox's Moment of Truth, a program up to Rupert Murdoch's usual standard of high quality, may be a workplace death trap.
Answering some of the more...personally interesting questions...isn't much different than taking the last train to Firedville, population you. Check out this lawyer talking to Fortune...
Could these people be denied promotions, demoted or even fired for behavior on the job or off that's considered deviant? Perhaps, employment lawyers say. "What a person discloses is fair game for an employer to use, particularly with an at-will employee, and most people who work are at-will employees," says Howard Wilgoren, an employment lawyer in Boston. (An at-will employee, unlike, say, a union worker, can be dismissed at any point for cause or no cause at all, and is also equally free to quit.)All I'm saying is if you're doing something with coffee besides drinking it from a mug, network TV may not be the best place to share it. Really, like, ick people.
