Vocabulary
Senior, junior
If I want to say that someone has a higher rank than me at work (say I'm a sous-chef and my boss is chef), can I say: He is senior to me? And if I'm a chef and someone is sous-chef: he is junior to me? Or should I say: He is higher/lower than me by rank?/He is more senior than me etc.
Thank you.
Thank you.

Hi The word senior is right there. If someone is my boss at work I'd say: they're my senior Personally (and this is just me) I wouldn't use the word 'junior' in that way because it feels slightly disrespectful - Caroline is a member of my staff - Mick is my assistant - Mary works for me Dave
