Overworked graphic designer quits job, only to discover company still takes credit for their designs five years later, gets payback by deleting the entire site: ‘They never paid for these rights’

Every graphic designer knows how challenging and unrewarding that job can be. If you are not careful, you can easily find yourself working for a toxic company, overworked, underpaid, and undervalued. Add to the mix the ungrateful and overdemanding clients who have no problem calling you in the middle of the night to ask for the tiniest of changes, and congratulations, you're officially a graphic designer! If you're lucky, that one job is only a rite of passage before you reach a workplace that actually respects you; if you're not lucky, well, you find yourself stuck in a toxic job for years.

Once a graphic designer finally gathers the courage to leave their terrible first job, they must be careful. If they were there for a long time, it would take much more than just quitting to finally be rid of it. Even though you might no longer be there, that doesn't mean that they can't still use your work. If you don't want them to, and especially if they have no right to do so, that means that actions must be taken.
