My FTO got rejected and I'm the highest utilized person nationally in my group.

The men in my group keep taking time off (1 took three weeks, 2 others are taking a week).

I feel like this is biased but am I reading too much into it?

Honestly FTO getting rejected is kind of insane. How far in advance did you ask? Did they say why?

I wouldn’t go to biased per se, but I almost feel like you’re getting penalized for being a high performer. I would push back.

Without more context, there’s no way for us to know if it’s biased. Just because two people have different results and they happen to be different genders doesn’t automaticallly imply gender the the reason for the difference.

Yeah ngl really hate when women jump right to discrimination, it really sets the whole idea of equality back like 100 years.
Did you request significantly more time off than them? Does your time off overlap with someone else’s? Does your time off overlap with a critical project milestone? Did they request time off a year in advance but you asked only a week in advance? All of these and many more are critical details you left out (and would probably have to assume bc how could you possibly know the details of the men’s time off)

I asked for a week off. It's not setting equality back when the two men took 2 or 3 weeks off.

Was just asking because it seemed unfair. Nobody else is off that week as everyone has already taken their post busy season vacations. I have not been able to given the number of engagements I'm on and so to cover the other people's time off

Just ask - you’d like feedback on why it was rejected. Is there something you need to be aware of or look into before asking.
