The design assistant is pitiful; you’ll want to complain to him more, which makes carrying out the work less frustrating.
I am a partner, and it is clear that the design assistants and designers who are just starting to take on projects receive no training at all.
This makes it very difficult to carry out work on site: communication is extremely poor, progress is delayed, instructions are unclear, and the site is chaotic.
When the designer is not on site, the contractors still have to explain the reasons to the client. The designer does not understand the contractors’ techniques,
and even has to dump the work on them. They call the contractors at midnight to discuss the drawings.
Your superiors may be putting pressure on you, but we also need rest. Employee training needs to be improved.
The designer keeps saying, “I’ll ask the director,” no matter what the issue is. It is really unclear how much flexibility the designer has to work independently and make decisions autonomously.
No one works this way.
