As the senior IC on my team it’s my manager that asks me to bring things up with the team since they actually listen to me. Managers just get ignored unless they actually threaten you with consequences and you have to use that sparingly.
Senior here too. It's a mix - usually my manager pushes hard on the less in the weeds-type topics, and I push on those in addition to the lower level topics. I can say with certainty that neither my manager nor I are ignored.
