Questions for designers on collaboration

How often, on your team, are you redoing other peoples work, or having yours redone? Or, is this done in reviews/ via feedback, instead of in Figma with new designs?
I’m curious about your teams collaborative process. Tell me all. What works for you? What doesn’t?

If someone’s work needs to be redone, it has only been when a designer leaves or rolls onto another project, and someone else picks up their old work and notices a bunch of issues. This has probably happened 3-4 times in the past 18 months.
However, as a routine, no one is ever redoing anyone’s work. That sounds crazy. We have critiques and provide feedback, and if changes need to be made, we discuss them and the designer who is responsible takes the lead on incorporating the feedback.
I think design leadership there doesn’t understand how to support design career development beyond making good designers become shit managers.
