What is an employer to do when an EEOC investigation goes beyond the bounds of reasonableness? Or when the EEOC’s “conciliation” efforts seem more like a joke that a good-faith effort to resolve the claims. There have been a smattering of decisions in the past few years by courts across the country answering this question in a variety of different ways–some more favorable to the EEOC and others strongly in favor of the employer.
