So I work in an old building that consistently has issues with the elevator and plumbing. Are there laws to keep employees safe, especially for water/toilet issues?

Yes, but it depends on where you live. If you think there is an air quality or other issue you can make the building owner test and remediate if necessary.

Not knowing what city/state you work in, there are likely codes that deal in both and forcefully. Secondly, is management really dealing with it or lip-servicing it? Do they own the building or lease it? Different laws will apply, but you shouldn't suffer because of it. Call the city/county/state health department, OSHA and local news service. Temporary rent-a-potty or WFH. Aside from that, it is a dangerous and unhealthy condition to have to hold it? WTH? CALL!💙☮️

Call OSHA

There are definitely safety laws. But probably not for an elevator or plumbing. They’re not really a danger (assuming the stairs are a reasonable option). Most states have pdfs online about what kind of things are covered

Probably not. Google OSHA Sanitation Standards for your state for guidelines.

Hello!
I’m a student majoring in Software Engineering. I’m starting my third year in a few months and have an internship where I’m learning more about working with an actual team on real-world projects. However, I feel like I need to do more to stand out and have a stronger software background. Anyone have any tips or suggestions for what I should do on my own time to strengthen my skills?

Any tips on how to deal with this…my entire team was let go today (was 5, now just me). We functioned as the Marketing team for 4 brands and primarily focused on product launches and sustaining social media content. My plan moving forward is to only focus on the top revenue driving product launches for now and say “no” to basically everything else. Would love to hear from anyone who has been in a similar situation and can offer some advice.

Need your help/advice! I was rear ended & gave my car to the body shop. The lift gate needs to be replaced. It's been 9 weeks and they have not yet received the part. They don't know when they'll get it in. Additionally, they mentioned that they ordered the part with my VIN & they received the wrong part. (How?) Now they're like we've called xyz vendors and none of them have the part. Is it just me, or are they lying? And their response to follow up is we will keep checking...continue..
