The Chief is on his way down to see you.  You know what it's about.  You fu@&ed up.

I've been in that room and have seen the fabled three stacks of paper, each one less inviting and more of a threat to your career.

In this episode I'm giving you ways to help keep the damage to a manageable level.  So many of the times, the way we react to the conversation is so much more damaging than the actual mistake that led to the conversation.

I've seen people totally blow it and get fired because they were unable or unwilling to tell the truth, keep a calm head, and did everything they could to avoid answering the questions that would ultimately get them in trouble.  

Firefighters are known for integrity and character, let's not abandon those things in times of accountability.

You screwed up, you're in trouble, but let's avoid getting in more.
