One common mistake that many employees make, when they are accused of some kind of misconduct or violation at workplace is overreacting and otherwise going way too far to defend themselves prematurely, which often makes their situation worse than it would otherwise have been. This exaggerated reaction might include sending nasty e-mails or even screaming at the employer due to the frustration of being accused of something you haven't done, running to EEOC to file a discrimination charge, even though there is no evidence whatsoever that the false accusations are due to any kind of unlawful discrimination or retaliation, resigning or taking any other relatively drastic step. These types of aggressive actions do not benefit the accused, but only increase the chances of being further disciplined or terminated. A much better approach is to cooperate with any kind of investigation into the accusations openly, honestly and respectfully without letting the emotions damage your reputation and your relationships with your co-workers or management any further.
