Some examples of this that I have seen so often:
No openings for interns or junior engineers, yet the companies and people I talk with, the senior engineers get sick often, lack drive and take longer PTO and their work isn't really that adequate.
Blaming interns or junior engineers for simple mistakes, which the senior which also should have seen.
Not training interns or junior engineers to become senior and be given more responsibility, I'm assuming we are all aware of the bus factor here.
All the while where some really smart interns or junior engineers come out of prestigious institutions (Oxford, Cambridge, MIT, Stanford, Harvard, etc), with a stunning body of work and can absolutely run rings around engineers that are called 'senior' in title only and don't have a body of work to show when they leave.
It is no wonder senior engineers are finding the job market tough now, but it is obviously even worse for juniors, and all the above doesn't help.
Of course, everyone is different, but I don't get the obsession with not giving very bright and talented juniors a chance even though they are more likely to be cheaper than seniors.
