Boss is by definition superior to your position, not in a sense better, but higher.

[inopinatus]

not higher. the graph is topologically unchanged if you draw it with the CEO at the bottom, and so on.

don’t be hoodwinked by bad analogies, or the arbitrary demands of insecure narcissists

[mhuffman]

Well, I mean your boss can fire you from the company but you can not fire your boss from the company. So in that sense they are "superior".

[inopinatus]

Sorry, but no. That is a falsifiable statement in just about every respect and possible interpretation. The implied assumptions about everything from employment law to the notion that in all work environments everyone has a “boss”, let alone the meaning of that term, are far from universal.

The world just isn’t that limited, thankfully.

Tip: think about why you had to put “superior” in quotes.
