    "here's my complaint: they keep putting in effort in places that really don't seem important"

    Correction: ...that don't seem important... TO YOU.

    "while neglecting those that do matter."

    Correction: ...while neglecting those that do matter... TO YOU.

    Now: Do you really think those people are putting efforts on things that don't matter to THEM while neglecting things that do matter TO THEM?

    So, what are you doing in order to align THEIR insterests to YOURS? Are you throwing money at it or something?

    Because surely you don't expect they will neglect THEIR INTERESTS in order to support YOUR INTERESTS just out of thin air, do you?
