There has been a previous debate along similar lines on Proz in Dutch-English, but the arguments raised here are still valid:

: Sorry. I changed my mind. After thinking a lot about it, I agree with Robert's observation, and disagree with Google's capricious, unscientific *statistical* analysis./You are right. I think it is time that we outgrow the use of "superior" in this contex.

Personally I treat unsubstantiated assertions with a healthy scepticism.But then really, by doing that you're making a judgement on Google, rather than the answer itself.Therefore far better to withdraw it on that basis as it is a worthless contribution.

: "Direct supervisor" is most definitely what would be used in such a context in US English, where language like "superior" and "subordinates" is largely passe in communciations within work contexts....

Through THEIR direct manager.
That way you don't have to specify gender using his or her.

Discussion
Google hits may be useful if you need to get a general sense of something, but they are seldom representative of global truth as opposed to “on-line” truth, and that, questionably so, since any neophyte with a twisted agenda can manipulate such statistical systems at will.
Remember the “miserable failure” Google-Bomb of a few years back? Case in point, no?
http://searchengineland.com/google-kills-bushs-miserable-fai...
Therefore, consonant to Robert’s observation, and in spite of Google’s hit-count to the contrary, I believe that even if the more common usage is and has been, even historically, “superior”, the relatively new and almost equally widespread use of “supervisor” is more correct, in the modern context of the workplace.
