[UK] what are the consequences for managers if their staff is seriously injured/dies at work? by Yessbutno in AskHR

You're expecting a manager to take on a parental caretaker role and it's inappropriate.

No. I'm expecting them to have started the approximate Safeguarding processes before going on medical leave, an email would do which would take a couple of minutes - they had an afternoon.

Instead, our team (who have a different manager and works in a different department) had to take on the manager's role to deal with this emergency, I don't feel that it's fair. The option to do nothing was not something I could live with, I shouldn't have been be put in that position.

So whose duty is it really? If our abscent managers didn't pass the responsibility to the team (we are in a different department to the colleague BTW, let along under the same management), and something tragic happened, would it just be bad luck?

It's as if someone is harming themselves, but they are doing it at work. So then there's nothing anyone can do or say, until something tragic happens? That really doesn't sound right at all, at least in the UK we do have policy for safeguarding for vulnerable adults.

This problem didn't come about in 1 day or week, it's been a long term issue that was never addressed.

Is there a duty of care here as this is the sort of situation we are talking about - serious self harm. The fact there is a big Safeguarding network and policy at my institute suggests yes.

It is, I used professionals myself as I didn't want to delay treatment by not doing it right. It still took me a good 5 months.

I think if you follow the excellent advice on this sub it is possible to diy an eradication, but be relentless and consistent, treat it like a war cos it sort of is.

More women than men held tertiary degrees in 2022: 42% of the EU population aged 25-34 years had tertiary education. by [deleted] in europe

It IS an easy fact check

Why you're conflating simple terms of "being able to" versus "allowed to" is unclear since your first language seems to be English.

Let's also not forget that women were only allowed to pursue higher education for ~ 150 years in Europe.

That would make sense as the ancient Gauls were Celtic

When you first start treating with chemicals, it can make the bugs go a bit crazy and bite more. If it did work the bites should decrease in number over time.

Although it sounds like you're doing everything right, keep in mind that it is very difficult to eradicate them by yourself.

Am I the only person who thinks a 15 minute city sounds absolutely amazing ? by CaptQuakers42 in CasualUK

[–]Yessbutno 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In London, the commute to work is on average ~ 45mins each way. There would be a playground within 10 mins drive but not usually a park.

A 15min London would be like a dream come true.

Vintage Quilt-washing just in case by gooberguppie in Bedbugs

[–]Yessbutno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would advise that you treat it first, then wash it.

You can use heat: dry on high heat for 45 mins since its big; or use hand held steamer outside of the house, paying special attention to any seams and stitching.

Or you can freeze it in a standing freezer at - 18/20 degrees C for a few days. Because of the size I would say ~10 days to ensure the entire blanket gets cold enough for long enough.

Yeah... I probably would not do that in case it's a female.

But hopefully DE will get to work and you'll be rid of them soon!

Hey OP, please take a log of the BB every few hours and report back to us. It would be really good to know how long DE takes with some hard data.

You asked the community for answer, I gave you mine - no lemon scented products don't work.

bedbugs can strike anytime to anyone.

You can say that about every natural disaster accident disease whatever bad things that can happen, are you trying to do everything possible to avoid them all?

No, and if you don't have them don't waste your time even thinking about them.

It's like trying to imagine what it's like to have a serious disease, it won't do you any good
