For sure!
Did you ever ready the book "Backstabbing for Beginners"? Seriously good and about the UN from a UN guy. I worked for the UNDP for some time in Kenya and was utterly and totally disillusioned. Absolutely ridiculous. Funny thing is, am very close with plenty of the UN guys here in Yemen, and most have the same sentiment. Yet at the same time, a job with the UN comes with nice perks, so there you are joining because you know you are joining THE place that will make a difference on our chaotic planet, yet down the road you realize there's really fuck all you can do, yet, it's so nice and cozy having this job, so you are a bit stuck between your emotions and a comfortable life. Hilarious.
My personal favorite is simply every time some atrocity is happening on the planet, there comes the "We the UN condemn this terrible crime!" And nobody gives a shit.
