Is it permissible to remain in a job that involves some forbidden things and non-Islamic holidays, with the intention of reform and avoiding temptation, especially after submitting a transfer request that has not yet been decided upon?

Working in public relations is permissible, but it becomes forbidden if it involves unlawful activities such as organizing musical concerts and mixed gatherings, congratulating Christians on their religious holidays. Furthermore, if the work entails aiding in these forbidden acts, then it is not permissible. However, if there is an extreme need for the job, it is permissible to remain in it temporarily while striving to rectify the forbidden acts as much as possible.
