I was in a difficult situation with my team
Had a great relationship with my team in the past .... There is one person who is many years within the company nearly 20, survived it all!
Not because he is a brilliant professional, but because he is well articulated. and much more very political.
I've witnessed things like he lent his luxury car to outsourced staff restra contractors, paid women and nightclubs to the guys from the team.
I also see people doing their daily activities just for friendship, believe me this guy hardly needs to move a finger because there are many people protecting him internally.
Unfortunately, I ended up beating up with this guy, I discovered several rumors and evil plans to overthrow a person who would be his boss, anyway, since this guy discovered that I did not accept his cheating I was totally ignored by my team, everybody it's against me, they do not help, they do not pass information, they do not call me for a break, lunch, etc ... now they have passed and they do not compliment me! I'm totally isolated and suffering multiple bullyngs within the work environment.
My boss and co-workers are in another country and they will never be able to know or understand the situation, which I can say I did not agree to get into the politics of this guy and I am paying a high price for it.
The person responsible for R.H. is a personal friend of this guy.

I'm going to sum this up in case I misunderstood:
- There is a guy near the top of your organization.
- He has the support of most, if not all, of the rest of the team.
- You don't like how he comes by/ uses his power?
- You decided to go against him.
I think you irrevocably screwed up. Going after people in power is not an easy game to win and you went into it with no plan and no allies. You started playing politics with this guy the second you went against him.
My suggestion is to try to make nice until you can get out. Vindictive powerful people can end careers and you don't sound qualified for the entrenched politics that would be required to come out of this clean.
When you move on and you see someone who has unilateral support to the point where they do almost nothing, take a step back and ask yourself "How much power do they have?" The answer is a lot.

It sounds to me as though it is time to brush up the CV and start looking for a new job, or perhaps contact your boss and request a transfer.
There is nothing more to be gained at this job, and you will not come out of this fight as the winner. Time to move on.
