So if my boss asks me to choose and I choose the new job, I was not fired. Just doing the moral thing.

  In the same mealy mouthed way, sure. Typically only doing the moral thing once prompted removes you from being described as "doing the moral thing." The place to make the choice is when you accepted the new job. That you had to be prompted indicates that you are not the type of person who recognizes obvious conflicts, or you are and you hope that might be able to avoid responsibility for them by lying through omission. The point is, as a "defense," this is absurdly hollow. I'm not sure PG did him any favors by clarifying this point.
