Your advice is great I think. Indeed, this is one of the steps I took already, by simply leaving most of the slack channels I used to hang around on.
No exposure to information, no chance to reflect (rephrase my opinion) on them. Win-win for the company, the colleagues and myself.
I wouldn't go as far as I "silently hate everyone in my heart", though :-) But clearly I (we all) have to be mindful about communication with colleagues and that executive you mention, and not to think they are friends of yours who you are expected (as Plato taught) to reflect on.
