I moved to a new country a year and a half ago and I really struggled getting a job as a designer. One day a long lost cousins calls me for a job and I gladly go to the interview and hear about all this projects we wold be working on and how everything is nice and pretty, the team is two graphic designers.
I got hired and started going to the office full time and surprise: there is barely any work for me to do. Why? The other designer and the marketing person (who works in an office 2 hours away) HATE and believe me when I say TRULY HATE EACH OTHER, but some how it was cheaper or easier to hire a full other designer to complete one easy task a week than yo try to solve a better way for them to work together.
I’m writing this at work atm because I get so incredibly bored pretending to work all day in an open space office, but in the end I’m happy that corporate conflict avoidance and laziness got me a job. I’m pretty sure this will implode sooner or later so I’m already looking for another job.
That’s all.
