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.

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.

I mean, this seems pretty obvious when you say it out loud. Of course the incentives are bent towards a compliance or legal department and not towards you. Of course you should protect yourself first and foremost.
