What is the ruling on working in places that contain violations of Islamic law, such as Aramco, which houses Americans?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Currently, in Sumari, there is a very large company containing thousands of employees. I am asking this question in truth so that one can convey your words and raise the issue, for example, that Shaykh Al-Albani answered and so on. Many young people are confused about their situation. Some of them, of course, are now undergoing training courses on the basis that they will transfer to the Eastern Region, under supervisors who may be Saudi or otherwise, and there are American Saudis, Sunnis, and so on. One does not know exactly, of course, but there is a training plan where management sends them in groups to the Eastern Region. The Eastern Region is, of course, the Aramco area, which does not have the Saudi regulations, meaning like those in Jeddah. It is known to be a purely American system, meaning that there may be women in the same branch in the work halls, or among the violations of Islamic law that you can imagine, and so on. So, should all the young people here quit their jobs? In addition, some of them make excuses, for example, the tightening of job opportunities in the Kingdom is known, and youth unemployment is such that if you ask for one hundred jobs, thousands come. The second thing is the issue of trade and so on. So, what is the best solution for them so that one can convey this matter?

The Shaykh : The best thing is not to be an employee at all.
The student : That is impossible.

The Shaykh : At all.
The student : May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh. If you would allow us to stay, we will not leave, O Shaykh?

The Shaykh : By Allah, in a few minutes, I will be with you, if Allah wills.
The student : May Allah preserve you, Shaykh.

The Shaykh: Yes.
