It is your own choice. Believe it or not it was never about a job. I am earning a lot more in Saudi. It is simply about right and wrong. It just came to my mind today because of this court order. Up to you. You are the one living with this. I did what I believe to be right and still believe to be right. if anyone tells you otherwise then read the proof. If you need the job so be it but never...
