I'm not a junior designer and I can tell you that toxicity is more common than you think. The best thing you can do is not take it too personal.

Since we all need to work (and eat and live), and sometimes jobs aren't ideal, I developed my own way to take the daily crap that comes sometimes with our work. In a few words: It's about Do you like it? I love it! attitude.

Just so you know (not for bragging) I've worked (in Barcelona) for brands like Seat, or Honda, as an Art director and cgi generalist, in the car industry, and yet I've found people questioning my knowledge and skills. And you know what? It just doesn't worth the effort to get angry, and believe me I was angry.

I'm 41 now, so it's not about that you are young. Some people don't worth the effort. Period.

The best thing you can do for yourself is look for places and people that value you as a person and as professional, and (Sorry for swearing) fuck off the rest.
