Just as you can't un-ring a bell, once damage is done, it can leave a lasting mark. Where there's smoke, people assume there's fire, making it all the more critical to address the facts early and clearly. While the slate can be cleaned, it’s rarely wiped completely, which is why careful, thorough handling of each case is essential.
