but if Caesar pays your salary then you do what he says or find another job.

You would have made a good Nazi with that argument.
Not trying to insult you, but really. That is the same weak line of reasoning the Germans used as they sent millions to their deaths.
“We were only following the law”.
It’s a slippery slope. What about the illegal immigrants? Are they not ignoring an “unjust” law?
No, it's not. There's a big difference between a guard at Dachau who refuses to obey an unlawful command and puts his well-being at risk, and a guard at Dachau who refuses to obey an unlawful command and yet insists on collecting a salary from Hitler.
This would be more similar to a case where the guard at Dachau has the option of quitting his job.
