'HR keeps telling her to hang in there': After leadership change at small non-profit, employee faced policy-defying demands from a new supervisor, and was placed on a PIP despite documenting compliance, HR refuses to intervene following complaints

As employees, we should know our rights, but there isn't always a Harvey Spector available to get us out of all our work-related dilemmas, and even if there were, we probably couldn't afford him. This employee is left in a vulnerable position after overhearing her boss and coworker discussing her possible termination…The worst part is, the grounds for her dismissal are based on inaccurate and dishonest fabrications! 

She is being accused of insubordination after already completing an unnecessary Performance Improvement Plan, and documenting her thorough completion of all of her "demanding" boss' requests…Perhaps the boss has a niece fresh out of college who is ready for her first big girl job, or just a plain and simple personal vendetta against this employee…or, maybe we are seriously missing a piece of the puzzle here, and this employee isn't as 'ambitious' as she's made out to be? 

Either way, how can one cease wrongful termination made by the main decision-makers?
