Hey ladies- bit of a touchy personal subject. I had my male counterpart recently use a counteroffer that was extended to me to try to push his own raise. Should I feel offended that he's piggybacking off my offer? (We do not have same work balance for context- he has 4 direct reports to my my 1 direct report and the same workload).

No, it’s annoying but it doesn’t affect you. You still get the raise you asked for and if anything, it just gives you another baseline to fight for another increase in future.
I wouldn’t hold resentment against the individual for taking a chance - I would hold my judgement for the decision maker and how they decide to value you.

It sounds like you’re saying he has a bigger team so more support? I’m not sure if I’m interpreting that correctly, but if so and you have the same amount of work I’d imagine he could flip that logic to say he’s managing more people. Could you use *that* as an opener about getting more support?

Managing more people will add to your value.

Unless this was supposed to be an attempt to fix inequity, no. Counteroffers typically result in the company being able to retain the employee for another year at most. With all of the competition for hiring right now, they may have felt like they needed to ensure he's staying if they think you're still a flight risk.
