Look at it as purely as you can from the perspective of all your other cats.

How well was she doing in the park after she was dumped? Is she capable of surviving if she joined your feral cats at work?

I'm really sorry you are being faced with such hard questions and choices. Some cats seem to have been sent to test us to the limit.
Actually I relocated her from the park to here. Because of her temperment we chose, at the time, to leave her outdoors. She was doing fine until Cosmo, another outdoor feral, chose to pick on her and bit her quite badly. After that Leila kept trying to come indoors so we thought we'd give it a try. It's been months now and things have not settled down. I'm so tempted to put her out back again. Sad part is every evening when I go to bed she runs in there and sleeps above my head. She makes it difficult to just toss her aside.
