This generalizes into the area referred to as workplace politics. It is an area filled with many (and many different types of) metaphorical dragons. If it's your company, you absolutely should and must do what it takes to fix the problem(s). But if it's somebody else's company, you need to think really hard about whether or not the effort - and potential blowback - is worth the cost(s). Are you going to look back from your (eventual) deathbed and say "I'm proud that I fixed that problem?". Are you going to look back and regret that you didn't? My guess is that your time, effort and attention would be better spent improving yourself than fixing somebody else's company. (That's not a criticism. I'm just saying that almost anything is a better investment of your time.)
