Caught in the Act

It's something everyone should think about - simply because, when Caught, it's always in a compromising position.
Last Friday, I knew exactly how THAT felt, when I found my name on a cc copy of an email.

What rushed through my mind immediately was :
OMG, now everyone is going to think i'm THE ONE WHO SPILLED THE BEANS.
OMG, I wasn't even around then!
OMG, what was my boss thinking to put me on the cc!
OMG, what will I say, when asked?

It's true, how, when one person gets caught, the rest of us are also caught albeit in a different bind.

Caught in the Act - question:
Who really gets caught?
The people who will leave, or those who are left?
