I am very dualistic when it comes to the cadets. Yes they took a risk, so I do not lie awake at night pondering their financial troubles.
On the other hand, once these cadets become my colleagues, there is no reason to treat them badly and there is every reason to make sure that our management does not take advantage of them to undermine our profession. We have a responsibility to ourselves (not the cadets) to stop the rot before it spreads.
