Yes, when I was doing work for the UN there were three categories of people in the organization and the lines between them were quite bright. I've described it this way to many people who are curious. You had the true believers in the mission, which was a minority. You had an army of bureaucrats, who were solely motivated by a steady paycheck and were incentivized to be paperwork and meeting maximalists to justify their lifetime appointment. And then you had a large minority -- larger than the true believers -- of grifters and sinecures, typically a nephew of the president of some undeveloped country or similar, who were openly there to collect as much free money as possible without even the pretense of work. That last group, while obviously devoted to themselves, were devoted to the organization to the extent that they are parasites and the organization is the host. But they only need the organization to exist, not the organization's mission.
