Oh please....
Are you telling me that no-one else in any other field is as cut throat as we are? Having witnessed some corporate reshuffles in an e-company, I can promise you that there is a significant amount of back-stabbing and get-me-some going on there too. We are not unique. Everyone has some sort of personal priority list, and you will find that doing what you can for your family is usually quite high up there.
Are you honestly saying that you would turn down a position out of seniority if it benefitted you and your family?
This is particularly true of the expat, but that should be no surprise. Very few leave their home country to benefit their work mates. They leave for a reason.......extra money, quick promotion etc etc.
