All correct, but remember, especially in the bay area: you always meet twice in life.
So be careful burning down those bridges if meeting with HR went sideways.

You will be at peace when you understand:
(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.

HR is a misnomer. It should be CR - Corporate Resource.

I wonder how much is true for European employees, which enjoy much stronger worker protection.

In my previous workplace, colleagues were not each others' friend as well.
Things are different now

Holy self-evident claim batman!
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.

Fact check: true
> “Anonymous Surveys” are a trap
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.
