> You do not really worry about what would happen if all the grossly negligent...

But I do. I care about them as people. People who have families and need a job. I'd rather help them to not be grossly negligent than see them fired (and probably worse idiots take their place since we are in a major skills crisis right now).

The world is getting complex faster than anyone can track. Tomorrow it could be you, or I who is getting called on gross negligence because we can't follow it. So I choose to be a teacher even though telling people the truth is getting REALLY F**ING HARD these days - cos no one wants to hear it.

No, they should not continue to be in a position where they can continue committing grossly negligent actions and harm others.

You can train them once they are removed and reinstate them when they can do the job right, but supporting their continued harm of others so they can “support themselves” is detrimental, counterproductive, misguided, and extremely selfish.

You are literally better off paying them to do nothing. Please at least do that instead of paying for harm.

> they should not continue to be in a position

"should" is doing a lot of work there. Im so many ways we're in agreement. But I do this in the real world, and experience has shown me we must deal with the world as it is and not merely as we wish it to be.
