person who manages workers
A person at work who watches and controls what other workers do, and makes sure the job is done well and safely.
תבנית שימוש:
work under [someone] as your supervisor
טעות נפוצה:
Learners sometimes confuse "supervisor" with "superior". A "supervisor" is your direct boss who manages your work. A "superior" is any person who is higher in rank or position, not always your direct boss. Learners also sometimes say "work as a superior" when they mean "work as a supervisor".
