Foreign definition of "manager" (meaningwords in the process of research) does not imply any one meaning, it is multifaceted. But the most interesting will be when we deal with the official part and infiltrate into the depth of content. In the meantime, synonyms for the word "manager".

Replacement words

The manager, as some think, soundsso it must be called known as to make it more chic. As the reader has probably already realized, there is no difference. The main thing in the work is what a person does, and not how his post is called. Let's give the reader the long-awaited synonyms:

• manager;

• agent.

English is good because it is brief: words and expressions suggest a huge number of interpretations. For example, if we take the concept of "manager" (the meaning of the word is already established), then it is saturated with different content, depending on the context, and can easily replace any of its synonyms. This is good and bad. Well, because you do not need to keep many words in your head, one is enough, but it's bad because such universalism greatly impoverishes the language and misleads the person who perceives information.

Devaluation of meaning

It is clear that these disputes are old as the world. But all the same about the fact of distortion of sense it is necessary to tell. The Russian people have one specific feature: any new trend, idea or trend, it turns into a banner. In all the national character is guilty, which does not accept any compromises. We can either fight for mokrostupy, not regretting his stomach, or speak English even better than in Russian. The idea of ​​a measure is completely alien to us. At least, so it turns out, if we investigate the definition of "manager".

M.N. Zadornov long ago collected such nonsense and lapses. He gave an example of how an ordinary cleaner was called a cleaning manager. It is difficult to say whether the humorist understood correctly, but if so, this is an example of linguistic illiteracy and absurdity at the same time.

And here it is appropriate to recall the meaning of the word "manager"on the explanatory dictionary SI Ozhegova, N. Yu. Shvedova: "Specialist in production management, the work of the enterprise." Thus, anything that does not fit into this definition has nothing to do with management, and therefore management. You can not call the managers of cleaners, sellers, ordinary employees of the firm. We hope this is understandable.

By the way, the reader is very lucky, because, according tosome sources, the lexical meaning of the word "manager" is that given in the explanatory dictionary. Absolutely without waiting, we killed two birds with one stone.

"Manager is the best profession in the world"

The word itself is already almost allergic, becausethat people who call themselves like that are still quite a lot. In the people even a distorted-ironic definition of the profession - the "manager" was born. Usually they call themselves those who perfectly understand that they are not managers.

Of course, he made his contribution to the cauldron of hatredan eternal critic of Russian reality and a cynic - Sergei Shnurov. In the eponymous song from the album "For millions" (2003), a non-representative portrait of a man who works exclusively for the sake of money is given to him, he is eager to realize, realize the American dream, but whatever he does, he is infinitely far from it. In the composition it is declared that the manager is "not like everyone else" - this is, of course, mockery.

The main thing is that now, when the topic of work in the officealready tired of many order, managers and other employees of the company need more sympathy than irony and sarcasm. Perhaps it is time to change something in relation to the inconspicuous workers of commercial organizations. The first step is thinking over the concept of "manager", the meaning of the word we have already disassembled.
