What are the ethical concerns?

He is not treating colleagues with dignity or respect.

  • Treating others with respect (Core Principles)
  • Conduct self in professional manner (1.02)
  • Do not harass others (incl. coworkers; 1.08)
  • Following supervisor’s directions (2.02)
  • Improve own performance (2.03)
How might you approach this situation if you were the supervisor?

If he does not change his behavior then consider reporting him to the BACBA.

The RBT is creating a hostile work environment and his behavior cannot continue. The supervisor could create a final remediation plan where the evaluation instrument, performance expectation, and criteria for continued supervision need to be met for supervision to continue (while the supervisor may not be able to terminate the employee, refusing to supervise will not allow the RBT to continue to work).
