“Directs” is another common word I hear used by managers.

Which makes sense as the formal phrase is "direct report".

While it was unintentional in my original post, "report" seems to work better than "direct" here as IMO my statement holds for a manager's indirect reports as well and thus "report" covers both direct and indirect. But now I'm just amusing myself with word games :)

Yes, as in direct _report_.
