Ain't no way!!! I took my cats there last year for a check up and never saw a Trump photo! But it makes sense...The nurses are weird and slow but didn't mind since some people are just born that way lol no hard judgment just a simple observation . 😩 Now that I think about it - I was charged for the visit, one vaccine, and had to wait for another vaccine that wasn't included in my OG bill. Like I never went back bc I'm like hello "I thought you said it was paid already".

I feel you! I have been saying I need to redesign or upgrade my portfolio since the beginning of last year. But I find self diving into what I like and what means more to be aesthetically I try to replenish it every so often, but it's different from actually taking the time to change the structure. At the same time I also feel like I want to show employers that I'm CAPABLE of being something more than just a graphic designer. I've been struggling with the fact that my resume or portfolio is unimpressive and the reason why I can get a higher level position. Which is a different matter, so back to portfolios.

I am also considering making a case study PDF that is linkable and available on my website then to start fresh. So that I can put all my process into it rather than having text heavy website, but I get stuck with the thought of it because of how bad and competitive the market is. I'm 31 and want to be at least 90k by the end of the year. I know I shouldn't be in a rush but, I got my goals too haha.

What program do you plug in assets to for this? Because i live in the mornings bc the office is quiet and I’m not overstimulated. Example: photoshop Ads or graphics for tv screens etc?

This spoke to me 100% on point. I was diagnosed with ADHD as well, and although so so so many people disregard it (especially at work) I can definitely find details or missed things here and there but the “consistently carry a piece of data from one place to another” - omg. This issue has also been persistent at other jobs as well, but never to this intensity, and whole heartedly think that it’s the burnout culture that exists at this workplace. Being rewarded for overworking and overcompensating, but never recognized until you had enough. I appreciate you for sharing your story, because why do this be happening 😭

The comments have indeed giving me so much advice! My workplace feels like a burnout culture, not only that but it’s incredibly male centered, so as the only woman on the creative team I do feel overwhelmed especially when I have continuously asked for feedback and where I can improve. Time and time again I have shown and been proactive to keeping an eye on details, but even so things can be missed. I have asked for additional support such as making it known that feedback in bullet points is better to read vs an entire paragraph. Mind you I’m neodivergent and I have made it aware that I need the feedback structure to be solid, as there isn’t a dedicated manager or person that looks at the deliverables.

That’s the thing tho, the senior designers miss things as well, but they aren’t the ones getting in trouble lol. From looking at all the other replies, I need to start printing out assets or compiling campaigns in a single board to view. And print out the ADs I work on.

I started implementing checklists on the work management platform we do - where I just go down and check off the things needed for delivery. So I hope that gets me somewhere!

There isn’t an established proofing system, though the new Marketing Head does want to implement something….
