It’s something that happens to a lot of organizations, especially charities and unions.

Unions that are actually controlled by the people who actually work in business the union supposedly represents normally do OK, but as soon as a union is big enough to need a paid full time staff, it’s only a matter of time before the union stops representing the workers and starts ensuring it’s own survival and growth.

Charities work the same way. At the grassroots level, they are fine. But by the time they get national in size, they have already gathered so many paid staffers who now have jobs and coffee cups to defend that the original purpose of the charity is bound to get lost.
