New account. Rage inducing story. Aggressor left the country which leaves no solution. Another motive for these posts is to solicit sympathy donations over DMs.
" I've spoken with HR and they issued an apology, allowed me to work from home again, and removed my PIP."
This is a dead giveaway. HR took a report of a decade long conspiracy in stride and simply reversed all negative consequences quickly and painlessly, with a formal apology cherry on top? Yeah right.
I worked in IT, with people that played dirty. Used to have to record my Teams calls with Amarok, since they wouldn't hang on calls that were recorded via Teams, and "off the record" would promises us stuff that they then would re-neg on like their bonus depended on it.
A different person, also a dirty-player, accused my boss of trying to sandbag her, and threatened to play the race card and get him buried for it. my boss said something to the effect of "you know that's not true, as does everyone on this call" and her reply was "lol who cares, we know who HR will side with".
There was an HR complaint, and I eventually dragged out the recording to cover my boss. Boss got a light talking to but they let him off, and the shady PM eventually got rotated, two months later, to another project before "deciding to spend time with her family".
I got reprimanded heavily, transferred off a juicy project, and made to sign another round of NDAs. Even though I just saved them from one, maybe two lawsuits.
Point is: HR doesn't do happy endings most of the time.
I don't know why there's a belief some people have that HR is some sort of arbitrator or champion of the workers. Probably correlates with no corporate experience. HR is corporate liability management.
