Jobs that are in the "Gray Area"

There are ethical challenges one meets due to the sort of company or organisation where one is employed.

For example, we may say working with a death squad gang is is outright wrong.

But what about a tobacco company, and you are just an Accountant? An auctioning company that sells goods that you do not subcribe to consuming yourself? Being a salesperson for an entity that sells goods that you know are not healthy for people to consume?

One employee at a dairy entity blatantly confessed that they could never allow any of their family members to consume a popular product because of the way it is made at the factory. How does a believer react in their own right, being part of such an entiy?
