Im the only designer of a relatively small marketing agency where we have 20 clients that each of them need me to design 10 to 15 ads every week. We onboarded a new client where my boss didn't include me in the meeting... He has promised the new client 30 designs per week which makes 120 ads every month.

I personally do not think this is sustainable for me on the long run. He's not willing to bring anybody right now. What do I do?

Money is not everything but how good is the pay?

Dang.. that's just too much. How much of this design can you use AI or premade templates? I would sit down with my boss and have a lengthy conversation about expectations and deliverables. They need to understand your capacity and how much you can do. Then, if they don't accept that they need to get another person, pay you for extra hours, or automate half of the work.

He recently implemented to clock in our hours because some of come early and leave later than others so we can get "overtime" and it's not fair to us to get the same pay as the others that come in late (His words). Honestly I'm not forced to stay up till the wee hours only to go back at 9:00 AM and repeat the cucyle... didn't mean for this to turn into a rant but he'd never understand...

Im working at a big multi-product company and we're having 5 dedicated product teams, however, teams are working in silos. Each team's has its own process, design system, technology etc. We identified that most of the teams use and need components that were already conceptualised, designed and developed, for our other products, and we are starting to create a global set of components, a global design system that we will use on all our products. What is your approach?

Question! I just moved(transferred) to another team of my company and received new title, graphic & creative services. I was a senior graphic designer at the previous team. What do you think about my new title? I know that title is not a big thing but why I feel like my title is downgraded here… Good thing is my jobs here at my current team are what I really wanted to do. This is amazing. I love my new team and people here! Super healthy working environment! But just curious about the title.

What are actionable items one should strive for when trying to grow as a designer after landing their first role? I hear a lot about ways to grow to land the first job but very little about how to improve after you know the basics.
