Not anymore. The SCOTUS just ruled that your "silence" can be used against you....

Taking the fifth when being interviewed by your employer, because you don't want to talk about on the job crimes you committed, should be an automatic firing offense.

@FedUp: "Taking the fifth when being interviewed by your employer, because you don't want to talk about on the job crimes you committed, should be an automatic firing offense."

At least for any public employee. If your paycheck comes from the taxpayer and you take the Fifth about a work related matter - you're gone, and all benefits are forfeit.
