Most organizations ignore their policies and stated missions and do whatever they were going to do anyway, then justify it after the fact (or when they get in trouble)

> Most organizations

Most? I doubt that. Many? Yes. But because "many" can't avoid being hypocrites constantly, doesn't mean we suddenly should stop calling it out when we see it, don't you agree?

I would say almost all organizations ignore their missions and operate orthogonal to their stated policies, after 100 years or so

“Calling it out” is meaningless

There are countless of organizations who follow their stated missions even after 100, 200, 400 or even 800 years. I'm not sure you should judge it based on some young US organizations, or whatever you're going by.

Not calling it out is cowardice and complacency. "Calling it out" might have a tiny effect, but it surely beats nothing.
