Dealing with incompetent designers

Hello! I would be grateful for advice if someone has been in a similar situation before.

I have recently joined a company as a ux/ui designer in a team of 2 other designers. I knew they were "reorganizing" but now i am just shocked by how bad things really are. There is no design system, no ui library, FE just eyeball everything because the "designers" don't know how to use figma and autolayout. Worse, they have no idea what a layout or grid is, what a responsive design is, what button states are.... their screens look like they're from the 90s, and they all look like different products. 0 consistency.

The "lead" who is becoming a manager started feeding everything to Claude and showing off those UI proudly to PMs... as screenshots in Figma. Screenshots that are all inconsistent from a pic to the next.

Im building a UI library starting from colors, type, spacing etc. He has no idea that we need actual color palettes instead of just ONE main color. I am also working directly with FE and our manager (who is dev, not a designer..) to let my work speak for itself.

However I am at loss at how to proceed and already considering changing jobs after 2 months...

Im hoping someone has some insight or advice on how to not get frustrated by an incompetent but loud person?
