HR is to protect the company, first and foremost. Sure, they'll discuss protecting the worker's rights, but that's in order to protect the company from a scenario where a worker's rights have been violated and they have a legitimate complaint against the company.

If you read between the lines on this it’s clear as day that they are saying speaking up is bad for your career, without saying those words explicitly. Executives, VPs and SVPs hate being held accountable by their workers, that’s my main takeaway here

It’s unlikely that you’re going to be able to frame the narrative effectively to get something of value. For example, an issue related to something that you expressed in your public can be picked up, embraced and extended and turned into a racial or other high attention/impact issue. The press can run with it and create a mess. More likely, nobody cares, and you’ll be painted as a crazy person, and crazy people go away.
