You have three choices: (1) Accept the current status and look for another job. Then when you find an acceptable job, take it. (2) Document the details of the situation including HR's response. This will help the next step. (3) See a lawyer who specializes in such cases. When HR refuses to do its job you have options. ... I will say that sometimes life is a shit sandwich, there isn't likely any prompt resolution of this situation no matter what you do. And the legal system is stacked against you. But depending on how obvious the mistreatment, and your state's laws you may have legal options.

HR is there to protect the company, not you. They must have found the risk of correcting your situation would cause more lawsuits than just letting the one guy fire you. Makes me wonder what dirt they have on the brass.

Retaliation because he/she went to HR is illegal some places. I would talk to a employment attorney for sure, like you say.

Unless they've had the forethought to document everything, this unfortunately doesn't matter. Lessons for the future though, HR is not your friend, record everything if you are in a one-party consent state and if not, request everything in writing.
