IBA reviews

*They've stripped down the staffing on all PT centers and expected the sites to run that way without issue, but still harp on the "work/life balance" and demonstrate that they've not a clue what burn out culture is. Good show. *If you are on one of the flying teams you might also be under staffed and extremely overworked due to having to support an embarrassingly bad product. *If you want to transfer to an area that has a higher cost of living, you will likely have to take a pay cut to your life style due to the company repeatedly not offering fair cost of living adjustments (COLA). They have yet to figure that out and frankly it's beyond embarrassing. *Shift work is shift work. It's the nature of this type of job, but it's certainly very unhealthy and bad for your brain.

Imagine not knowing how to swim and getting tossed into the deep end. You're expected to be an olympic swimmer, lifeguard, and pool technician all at once... and the water is extremely dirty. That's what it feels like working at IBA in any sort of leadership role (not management.) IBA has the excellent idea of providing little resources to their teams which are the backbone of their medical treatment center and what actually keeps the sites on their feet. IBA has this grand vision of an operator-less system, but instead of making improvements to the system to warrant no operators, they just shrink the teams. I have no time or staff to run maintenance tasks and on top of that, I haven't had a site admin for over a year to handle inventory and other admin like activities. I've been expected to do my leadership role, be an operator, and admin for what I consider a measly salary. On top of that management has been reviewing me unfavorably because I can't do each job as efficiently as they like and have told me I would have to work extra hours to "prove myself as a leader." I also had to work with nearly half a team because half quit due to being treated unfairly. (I don't blame them) Management took nearly 5 months to hire more team members because they advertise an engineering role over what an operator actually is - A TECHNICIAN. YOUR ENGINEERS ARE NOT ENGINEERS. THEY ARE TECHNICIANS. I'm not sure how many times I've said this to management just to have it brushed off because my voice as a leader is severely undermined. I'm not the only one.
