Are you sure your senior is not picking up the manager’s slack? My senior always used to have his hands full with the managers work and I would be dealing with all of his work
Wait till you understand what it’s like to be a senior, then you will get it. They’re most likely delegating down so they can do their manager’s work.
Seniors believe it or not are handling things so you don't have to.
There’s been a lot of negativity recently around here re: FB people are biased against staff, so in the interest of fairness, I’ll ask - did your senior ever actually say those things out loud or express them in any way? Most seniors are really busy either manager’s work or actually just project managing/coaching. I remember some days when I would sit with multiple associates for over an hour to explain work to them, and at the end felt like I had nothing to do myself until their work came in for review. But those days were rare, and usually at the beginning of an audit. But I think those things happen and they usually mean your senior is investing in enabling you to do the work they were doing as an associate and letting go. That said, I’ve also witnessed some managers who said “Now that I’m a manager, I will only review, and won’t ever start work myself,” which is...a terrible attitude. So I’m curious where your senior falls on this scale.
They were once staff feeling the same way as you, OP
They are working harder than you like. Just keep doing your job.

You’re a staff. Just be lucky you’re utilized. Poor attitude smh. You’re there to learn not to have the easy life.
