A mid-level complained to the partner that they weren’t having interesting work handed to them (as opposed to volunteering for that work) and the partner reassigned the work I was doing for the partner to the associate and assigned me their admin work. I am on one other matter with this partner and I really want to get off that matter too knowing they won’t prioritize my development. Is this petty?

Women get admin worked assigned to them more than men.

Assuming the mid-level is male, this behavior could show preferential treatment towards men. Assuming partners are mainly male, it sends the signal that men are groomed for partnership while women are expected to leave or play supportive roles.

Need more context. Maybe the partner was treating you and the other associate unfairly in a way that benefited you before, and now the partner is trying to be more fair because it was called to their attention.
With the limited info provided, I’m not sure there’s anything worth being petty about
