On a more serious note, if you're high enough up the food chain to afford such services and have significant downside risk, I'd recommend running anything you are unsure about by your own personal counsel first before running it by your firm's compliance and legal department.
This is both something I know is true, and also something I struggle to understand. I can't get my head around why company leadership would ever consider true anonymous feedback from down the org chart as anything but an incredibly valuable resource. Surely this could be a bad thing for some execs who are doing a terrible job and this would be evidence against them, but I would think that the majority would still want that information so they could remove those members from their ranks.
Middle management have the most to lose (they get the blame for poor employee satisfaction), and they also have sufficient resources and authority to hunt down dissidents.
So be careful burning down those bridges if meeting with HR went sideways.
(1) You should not work at a place that does not pay you well, also taking into account the risk to your employment.
(2) Realize every day that it could be your last at that employer.
(3) You should doggedly be working on a side hustle in your spare time to be free from the employment trap.
Things are different now
Work colleagues are not friends and certainly not family. Regardless of what the corporate cultural ambassadors would have you believe.
