What are my options if I was harassed at work and sabotaged
I was recently promoted at work. Since
my promotion I have been lied on and
lied to about specific areas of my job.
I am afraid to go to HR due to past
issues I have reported were told to my
leadership which made things worse. I
would like to know my options to deal
with this situation.

Unless this harrassment is due to some form of legally actionable discrimination or violates the terms of an employmentcontract/union agreement, you have no claim here. Your employer's actions are legal. The fact is that most work relationships are "at will" which means that a company can set the conditions of employment much as it sees fit.
