Here are the parts of your post with which I disagree:

> It’s not complicated.

You didn't know what tradeoffs I have to consider, so I doubt you can know if the decision is complicated or not.

In actuality, my decision involves guessing at the likelihood of various outcomes, and how they relate to competing ideological goals.

> Telling yourself so is only making excuses for the company.

You guessed (wrongly) about my thought process. Furthermore, I don't see why you had any confidence to make that guess, let alone chastising me based on that guess.

It doesn’t seem so. You are prioritizing your family over ideology. That’s because you are being paid to do so. These are the brass tacks.

I don't think we're using the same definition of ideology.
