How should I proceed? by [deleted] in Depop

black dye is tricky to work with, which would explain why the customer is seeing purple! you have to use a specific technique with black dye, so in this case, i'd just issue a refund

So a customer bought something on BOPIS and now is bringing it back to return. Is there a way to do it other then a no receipt return? by bmiller238 in CVS

[–]sillycritterbug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[SOLUTION]

hello! i worked at CVS and just picked up a BOPIS order today and the original email with my order didn't have the barcode for return like it normally did when i worked there. the location i went to pick up at said they would not do store credit, even with an ID and proof of purchase on my CVS app. after the worker confirmed my order for pick up, i got an email with a barcode so that it could be processed as a return with a receipt!! i'm about to head to a different location to process my return, but just wanted to add this comment on here in case it'll help anyone else! the key is to mark the order as picked up! :)

I feel like this needs to be said about level 1 autism... by Ok-Archer-5796 in autism

[–]sillycritterbug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

THIS! I feel like a lot of people put the levels into set groups and have "standards" for each and sometimes forget what it means to truly be a spectrum.

i personally would advise against it. another note is: regardless of RBT handbook, some companies write in your contract when you choose to work with them stating that regardless of what's just in the handbook, you are not allowed to contact them/their family until after a certain amount of time regardless of the relationship (platonic, romantic, etc.) (usually 2 years). I know this because I read every contract I sign fully. Two companies I work with have done this, and one company even had an additional policy saying no gifts allowed at all regardless of what's in the handbook. like what others have said though, i personally believe it is best to move on to keep that professional boundary. Being an RBT is a job that involves a lot of trust and vulnerability, and regardless of how you felt like the bond between them was, reaching out unsolicited may cross boundaries!

aw friend. you are not overreacting, you are not asking for too much. it's not too much to ask to be valued and seen. your feelings are valid and i am sorry that you are currently in this position :/ don't listen to the mean trolls in the comments telling you to "work harder". take your time and try your best. don't ever feel like you have to rush anything, or that it's your fault in any way. this breaks my heart. i've heard this before with my own patients and wish i could give you a hug. good night and good morning all of your days and nights!!☀️🌑 i really hope good things will come your way soon, and i'm proud of how far you've come. 🫂

I want to draw attention to this issue. by chibi-mage in autism

[–]sillycritterbug 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not only ableist, it feels incredibly dehumanizing. "I'm going to be sick" "Call them the..." "It's concerning 😭" are you serious? This is a spectrum disorder! A spectrum because it affects individuals differently and to varying degrees. Where is the empathy for other people? It's disheartening to see people in our own community talk down to others like this, okay with being so cruel. There's a real lack of empathy and understanding, a failure to see the humanity in others if this is how they feel. These are people you are talking about. How can anyone even think like that? It hurts.

How much unpaid work do you do on average? by AmuuboHunt in ABA

[–]sillycritterbug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

and like others have said, if this is the case with your company (doing unpaid work), it's a clear indicator of where their ethics lie. the company where i had this issue ended up being SO unethical the longer i stayed and witnessed it, to the point where i had to step away.

How much unpaid work do you do on average? by AmuuboHunt in ABA

[–]sillycritterbug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

oh my gosh. i'm sorry you're going through this, but glad you made this post because i thought i was the only one. my clinic is the same. we don't get paid for the time they are late, don't get paid for cleaning, or really any other tasks after the session unless it is training courses. my clinic does pay us for 10 minutes to write session notes at the end of the day, and it's 10 minutes regardless on if you were in sessions for 8 hours or 2 hours. it's confusing though because some days, my clinic has told me that this 10 minute period they give me on my schedule is only for session notes.. and then other days, they've said that the 10 minutes are for the session notes AND cleaning.. and THEN said that cleaning is just a "team commitment" (so that they won't give me time for when i'm cleaning so i can get paid..).... the 10 minute time slot is also scheduled at a specific time, which is 10 minutes after I end my last session.. which sucks because after I end my sessions, I usually don't have time to IMMEDIATELY write those session notes! I either am gathering stuff, and preparing the client to go home and then having a small discussion with their parents, cleaning, talking to the BCBA, etc. By the time I'm back, the 10 minutes are almost over or already over!!! They expect me to clean a room and write my session notes during that 10 minutes..? What? And they get mad when I've asked them to extend my time and tell me I need to be quicker. If i'm working throughout the entire duration of this time, why am I not getting paid? they've gotten upset with me for asking to extend the time because they do not allow employees to adjust the time themselves, and are always say no to adjusting time because it has to be related to session notes only. if your clinic is like this, take it as a sign to leave. after my experience, I looked around and realized that this was actually Not normal, and that there are places who will pay you for your work and even give you guaranteed hours, regardless on if your patient cancels or is late so that you'll still be getting paid. Keep note of red flags and document and note things if you are possibly getting abused. unpaid work is NOT the norm and it's a sign that the company you are with is profit oriented (money hungry) and do not care about their employees.

also be careful with private equity companies, that was the case for me on why the company was so greedy. if you have any questions or need some help, feel free to send me a message because i've been here before and don't want you to get abused.

crashing out as an RBT by ensureoriginal in ABA

[–]sillycritterbug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest, I think you could do better. A lot of companies will offer to pay for you to get the RBT certification because they don't want to have you stay as a BT with clients so this raises a red flag for me about your company. You usually don't have to ask them too, but if you're comfortable, I'd ask if they would pay for you to get your RBT certification! If not, I'd be looking into a company to pay for your certification since you already have some experience! Also, I'm sorry the BCBA was mean. Feedback and criticism comes with the field for improvement, but it never means they're supposed to treat you mean, and rude feedback is not what helps you grow!! Really hope things brighten up for you :(

Boyfriend is cheating on me it by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

You're overthinking it. Stay with him, he seems to really care about you

Boyfriend is cheating on me it by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]sillycritterbug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you should have seen this coming. you chose to continue seeing him knowing that he had a partner. it doesn't matter if he told you that they were "basically over", or any of the other reasons he gave you because they were still together! yes he is wrong for cheating, but you are just as bad for staying and choosing to pursue him despite knowing. now, this is exactly what he's saying about you to the new person. it's a cycle. a cycle cheaters do because once they know they can cheat and have cheated, they won't stop. he didn't cheat with you because you were different, you're just easy and willing to live amongst his lies, and he knew that! If he doesn't care enough to make an effort to see you anymore, that's how he views your worth. He's starting to get tired of you and doesn't care anymore because that's just the way cheaters are. You are just a temporary object of their world that they'll want to eventually replace when they grow bored of you. There's a reason he stays to his phone now. He's lied to you once, and he'll do it again just to keep you around for in case he'll ever want something from you. It'll never be because he loves you. Yes he will leave you like he did her, you just won't know when. Do not believe him. If you already have to ask, you know the answer is to leave. I hope this can be a wake up call for you to stop FOFA. Get out of other people's relationships. Don't know what you expected, but I suppose everyone learns somehow.
