Supervisor
Workplace Hierarchy
A supervisor is above regular employees but below managers; they have limited power.

Her supervisor assigned tasks, but only her manager could approve her vacation.
Monitoring Role
Supervisors typically monitor work closely, providing feedback and assistance.

My supervisor watches how I use the cash register to ensure I'm following procedure.
Communication Channel
Supervisors often act as a communication link between upper management and staff.

Tell your supervisor if the computer is broken; she'll inform the IT department.
