Was hired to bring a technical understanding to the team but the team doesnt want to listen to how things technically work
Probably are. Need to get a different perspective on working with others. If you cant do that probably change jobs
You lack credibility. Work on it before recommending changes.
How would anyone in here know without being there? Could go either way
Good designers in my experience are very passionate. When I’ve managed designers earlier I’ve tried to channel that passion into great work. Assuming your manager thinks you’re being “combative” because you stick to your ground. If that’s the case, fuck him or her.
Ah, you might have been hired to abstract technicalities and translate them to business language.
Yer either an ass-hat or under a crappy manager/team.
Option 3 - give your boss a swift kick in the ass and show him/her who’s boss!
Have you considered being even more combative and technical?
your manager clearly recognized a need for more technical expertise on the team in hiring you; sounds like you may be misunderstanding what they thought that would look like and what value it would have specifically. Maybe you should have a conversation to better understand their perspective and see if it meshes with something you realistically even want to contribute
Why doesn't the team want to listen to you? Everything we're intolerant of in others can lead us to a deeper understanding of ourselves.
Oh the lack of introspection/self awareness in this one is amusing.
Mostly web design, team prefers to blame engineers for not building the thing that was designed instead of understanding capabilities of the platform.
