For me it also sounds passive aggressive in the sense "junior designer doesn't know anything, lacks things like common sense and even personality, this is why I pay them 5X less than myself". While me - a senior designer - explores beyond ideas ASAP while investing in researching clients industry to write own copies while choosing directions and overseeing execution while at the same time just doing the job required. Some of these even contradict one another: > The other knows the answer is "ASAP,” so they propose their own timeline. > The other does as many drafts and explorations as possible within the time allotted, then shares their favorite options. Sounds for me like some senior punishing juniors with "do it ASAP! you only did one draft? do more! ASAP!" Maybe I am imagining things or maybe I met colleagues/clients like that.
