OTOH, people who risk their career to challenge an internal policy written by a group of people largely above their pay grade and not answerable to them, at best become pariahs who are ignored, and at worst are fired for "not being a team player".
Most people are only concerned with their own little corporate corner and doing the least effort that keeps them in paychecks. Trying to follow the spirit of a rule rather than the letter, or pushing for change to improve things overall, is never appreciated.

The idea that there exists some level where C-level execs in that organization are going to suddenly appreciate dissent is wishful thinking. These kinds of cultures begin at the top.
