Deal with passive aggressive coworker on high profile client team, or move to less high profile team with (seemingly) better people? Grass greener on the other side?

You’ll never really know if they’re “better” people until you start working with them 🤷🏽‍♀️ Can you try it out and see? Or is that wishful thinking?

It depends on your goals. Is the high profile client worth the potentially less ideal team or is having a (potentially) more enjoyable team the priority?

Is it worth the stress, anxiety, and mental wellness to work with this coworker? It’s not sustainable.

It's never greener everywhere - you'll still have the pee stained areas. Just a different shade of pee...

Need advice & perspectives: I got a verbal review from my manager saying he couldn’t see me as senior cuz I didn’t follow the design doc format he mandates from all designers. While I have been the only designer who does almost everything from design, UI asset creation, wiring up UI in Unity (I am in mobile gaming).
Also the product I’m on has been in MVP stage, things move extremely fast and design decisions changed constantly. He’s not on my team.
Am I crazy for thinking him a bad manager?

Over the past year, my counsel is constantly judged by a select few senior business folks (eg arguing over FTC compliance, IP risk counsel, and even simple things regarding NDAs that any attorney wouldn’t question. It’s very frustrating that my own team is the one I have to defend my logic to (and not opposing counsel). It feels like they want a rubber stamper, which is not me.I never faced this at my prior in-house roles (probably because they were much a larger). Any advice on how to handle?

I feel like I may have been written off by the one partner, still get a fair amount of work from another and the third has never really given work but has a rep for doing things alone or using seniors.
