Calling your employees "subordinates" is also a solid indication of the same.

How would you then call people below you in the org tree? I’m struggling to think of a clearer term.

With no snark intended, I simply call them my colleagues. If there is a question about whether they report to me or not, I'm happy to clarify.

Colleagues does strongly imply an equal level and similar duties, a teamlead's colleagues are other teamleads and not the individual developers whom they're managing (who do a different job) and not their managers who are also doing a quite different job.

"Direct reports" is the default euphemism.

'my org', 'my team' or 'my reports' for all below; 'my direct reports' for those immediately below.

It's not like "employees" is the greatest. Those who are employed, i.e. used.
