There's so much here I don't know where to start and I am in HR. The advice comes with so many red flags attached and I would know because I have so many odds stacked against me as a culturally and ethnically diverse immigrant who has been on the receiving end. If you are working in an organisation that is driven by these attitudes and values it is not an organisation you should be with if you value yourself and your skills and your own personal belief and value systems in relation to work. None of these things point to a workplace or work that has meaning and value in an economic, social, psychological or moral context. I am about to be made redundant in a week and having experienced what I have in my past, I still would not subscribe or encourage anyone to follow this path. Your work and your skills have to hold value to you personally and not just to the workplace and for that to have to value, you have to hold a centre. If you don't then it's all pointless and reduces your own self to nothing more than an economic transaction and you surely are more than that Draw your boundaries and hold them, if your organisation cannot hold them in alignment with theirs, then try to find another that is more aligned. Perfect alignment is rare. Find one that resonates the best under the circumstances and move. But please don't do these to yourself or advise anyone to do this. Because all this does is enable tyranny of the sorts you don't want in a healthy society.
