Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ricky is referred to as a "working supervisor" because he performs supervisory functions, but is not officially considered a part of management. He is still involved in the day-to-day tasks of the job, which sets him apart from a top-level manager who would be more focused on strategic planning and decision-making. A contingent worker is someone who is hired on a temporary or project basis, and is not a suitable term to describe Ricky's role.
