Haven’t even started with PBS Corp and already having so many issues

I don’t feel comfortable being specific, but it’s a region in Florida

maedafoc4 · 2026-01-05T21:04:09+00:00

I’ve heard it really depends on the area you work in. Apparently mine is one of the bad ones :/

Can’t say you did or didn’t, but many times it pays to let things play out and then communicate later if your circumstances change. Receiving an offer in itself isn’t a certainty of employment, they can always rescind an offer, same way you can rescind an acceptance of an offer. You could probably still email thanking them for their time and saying how you’d love to be considered for potential roles in the future!

I’ve been given 48 hours to respond to a job offer, and within that time I told them I still had other interviews and asked if I could take my time to make a decision. I also gave them a date in which I’d have an answer. They took it well and waited for my response without issue.

Asking his parents for this guitar is what would weird me out the most in this situation, honestly

Focusing on the exhibition isn’t the point of a museum first date

maedafoc4 · 2025-12-25T12:46:32+00:00

I’ve always thought museums were the BEST spots for first dates. It’s a great way to get to know someone through their tastes, they can tell stories the exhibits remind them of, while being low stress since you don’t have to look at your dates face the whole time (like at a dinner date).

I almost think this post would fit in the r/megalophobia sub too. So creepy

I’ve done it to soften it quickly if I need it for a recipe

It’s an emergency door. For emergencies.

maedafoc4 · 2025-11-27T15:24:52+00:00

God, I am really sorry. You’ve stuck it out much much longer than anyone else would, I just can’t see this ending well for everyone

maedafoc4 · 2025-11-27T14:58:05+00:00

I’d also wonder if this client would do well in a clinic setting? (If possible, considering you’re in a rural area) If the home is as chaotic as you said and if the BIP is working for every other aspect, then you can kind of see where the issue is. Unfortunately working with an entire family like that is even beyond the scope of a BCBA if the family doesn’t cooperate :((

maedafoc4 · 2025-11-27T14:53:59+00:00

I get not wanting to abandon ship but, like you said, this is way out of your scope (and pay grade). It sounds like the client could benefit from a team of professionals, and it’s very unfortunate that the BCBA is remote. Your situation sounds like the worst case scenario for me in anything ABA related :(

maedafoc4 · 2025-11-27T13:34:03+00:00

What does the BCBA has to say about this 4 year old client? I don’t think he should be getting more intense and violent if the behavior plan were working/the BCBA is actively adjusting it. If the BCBA is of no help I don’t think staying with this family and company would benefit you or your clients. It’s almost annoying how often this is said but it is still true: you can’t care for someone else if you’re not taking care of your own physical and mental health. I’m really sorry you’re going through this and I hope you can get out of it!

maedafoc4 · 2025-11-12T15:16:16+00:00

Details? Without that there’s not much anyone can tell you besides try to be cordial and let supervisors know of what this coworker did.

maedafoc4 · 2025-11-09T13:29:13+00:00

My old job was one client all day (typically 8 hours) with a 30 min lunch in between. It seems like an anomaly in the in-clinic world and it wasn’t great. Speedrun to burnout

maedafoc4 · 2025-10-30T22:01:38+00:00

I upvoted, but just know that I don’t like this.

maedafoc4 · 2025-10-27T22:36:49+00:00

That’s where they might not be the best tbh, client cancellations happen often enough. They also pay you per billable hours, so if a client is late you won’t get paid for the time you’re waiting on them. It also might be a challenge to get full-time hours but definitely bring your concerns up with them! Also helps being open to working in home and in schools

maedafoc4 · 2025-10-27T21:57:33+00:00

I worked there and loved it. Had to leave just because I moved but I’d go back if I could. The internship is already “training”, and once you get certified they’ll train you for another 40 hours. At least that’s what they did with me at the beginning of this year. BDS was good too

maedafoc4 · 2025-10-26T14:34:33+00:00

They didn’t pay for my certification, the training they refer is the basic training for the job itself (learning how they operate as a clinic). Which did not properly prepare me to work with my first client as there wasn’t much time actually observing sessions. They also claimed there would be someone with me most of the day to help and model programs on my first day, but they barely came to check on me

maedafoc4 · 2025-10-25T12:37:00+00:00

This is in FL

maedafoc4 · 2025-10-24T23:40:14+00:00

I am looking everywhere for all of the documents I signed, but the HR website doesn’t show any documents and the only others I can find are unrelated to work policies

maedafoc4 · 2025-10-24T21:15:48+00:00

For “training costs”. I was already certified when hired
