Heard someone on my team say that my designs are mediocre at best. And that they "don't know why I'm still being paid when they can just use AI to generate much better work". I'm still disturbed by it, even though this happened last afternoon. Maybe I think it's sort of true. It's a really threatening and sad place to be. Has anyone else here been compared with AIs abilities? How did it make you feel?

If it wasn't your manager or supervisor, don't worry about it. Sometime people who are jealous say things to make themselves feel better.

Ouch! That’s awful! It’s been happening though that clients are saying things like this to designers in my network. Breaks my heart. What if you took this opportunity to ask for some feedback on what your designs lacks? If it’s bs they will. It have anything good to say. If you can learn something, that may be a win for you.

I’ve been straight up told to my face that I didn’t deserve my position that I was in—I was a junior at the time. Even better, was told that I’m a terrible designer and should leave. I find it hard to believe I kept going to make it this far, but here I am still doing the thing and making a living. People will always say things to bring you down, but you just need to stay focused and drown out the noise as much as possible.

I have been at my company for 3.5 years. One year ago (2.5 years into my employment with them) they re-leveled everyone and I was bumped to an entry level position on the terms that they changed my job title when they re-leveled, so “technically” I am at the early stages of my new title. Even though the job duties did not really change.
I’m not sure the best way to approach this. Has anyone else had a similar experience or know how I should advocate for myself?

So, some of my co-workers simply said that they want to go ahead and start something or start looking elsewhere (career change) because they don't know how much it will last at the pace we are going in regards to case intake and pay out.
