I'm more than upset that we can't treat a topic seriously without someone sidetracking on an personal offense for "mandays". The OP didn't even suggest another word, nor does the industry have another established gender-neutral word.

Besides, women programmers are often quickly promoted, so yes there's only men left at the bottom level.

Full time employee hours.

Which risks "othering" the part-time employees and contractors among us.

What about contractors? Interns?

Did you see how many of the links in that search talk about converting part time hours to FTE?

That's what the "equivalent" part means.
