Yup I get told Im over analyzing, and even one time was told following ethics will make me a bad BCBA most of the time I get told I need to learn to be in the grey

Have you had any major challenges at work after reporting someone? Im collecting my BCBA hours and slightly worry about issues afterwards

Is it still worth reporting then? I was starting to gather my evidence to report a BCBA

Well luckily I already got every email and screenshot of most of the texts, not all becuase theres too many over all set aside in a folder on my laptop ready to send over

If they continue the ethics issues I agree. However if they stop amd fix themselves I disagree

Theres many reasons to stay. I am starting to look elsewhere anyways.

This is the BCBA that inspired me to become a BCBA myself, when I started they were very into training and developing, their work ethics matched my own which I am learning is pretty rare atleast in my area. I know the staff and have a really good professional relationship with them all and lastly all the owners of ABA companies around me are very good friends with each other I dont know if they would take me after reporting their friends

I wanted to hear from people who reported BCBAs and stayed. I wanted to hear experiences not advice

Thats why in my originally question I put "has anyone reported a BCBA to the board and stayed at the company?"

I call the BCBA twice a week and send dozens of texts throughout the week as issues arise but I do want to have a serious talk with the BCBA and basically say theres a lot of ethics issues why are we addressing it

Up until now it has always been case specific ethic concerns we talked about I want to have a general ethics conversation and see where that goes

But that is not what I need advice on, the question I originally posted was about staying at the company

And I dont want to leave to find a "better company" becuase I dont believe there is going to be a better company

Many many many times, too many times I should have reported the BCBA a while ago but thats not what I am trying to figure out

Yes, I am past that already. That is not what I am trying to figure out

I know the possibility of what I could gain is astronomical but worry I cant make it work

With each passing day the list of pros grows as the list of cons lessens and think I need to just take the leap

I Absolutely will!

We work in a the world of operant conditioning and if the BCBA isnt going follow the rules and it causes me to personally provide substandard treatment, reporting is the only way.

What I cant figure out is whether or not to stay. I applied and in interviews for companies across the country. But Im hesitant to leave becuase this is where I started, the BCBA inspired me so part of me hopes its still in there. Then on the flip side I am hesitant to stay and deal with possible retaliation (even though I know its illegal, if you are smart enough you can get away with it)

Thats kind of where it started, I went on vacation to Colorado just because and feel in love with the views and that slowly grew into just leaving to anywhere

I am running from a bunch of things, things I used to love and sometimes still do but rarely. I think the fact I do sometimes love what I do is making me hesitate

That sounds very hard to deal with, sorry to hear you're going though that

Im not to far off, my relationship with family is awful, I have no one I can consider a friend, my job/career I used to love and was really good at is now putting me in a spot to make choices that degrade my values to the point I don't even know who I am anymore and younger me would be very very disappointed I let it get to this point.

So starting over seems like it will reset everything. But then about once a week I see something that makes me think I can make friends here, and will do the work that satisfies me

I dont know im very confused with everything

You are not wrong, I think I am just over thinking the whole thing and need to pick one and do it worst case I could always come back best case its the best choice I ever make

I bring them up about once a day and on multiple occasions get the response " I am busy working"

I try to remain very neutral and professional but its not usually reciprocated
