...some few may actually acknowledge that an employer shouldn't go around firing people simply on the basis of accusations alone.

People are fired ALL THE TIME on the basis of accusations alone!

Slackin' on the job...stealing something from the company...Facebooking too much (stealing time)...etc. etc. etc.

Corporations don't hold "trials" -- and even when they may discover an employee stealing something, they usually DONT report it to the authorities. They just sack the person. And yes on the basis of accusations.

What sort of a cosmetically sealed world do you live in???

Happy Valley?

Well, here's a news flash: people who get fired on the basis of accusations sue their employers for wrongful termination all the time, which is exactly why employers have a policy manual, and why employer's who have a policy manual DON'T do it.

I understand that in the worlds of fast food and mega-retail and shelf-stocking, you haven't been afforded these protections, but most governments, universities, and corporations large and small who hire professional, educated people don't do it -- at all -- let alone "all the time."
