Line manager
The Swedish term itself sounds like a literal translation of an English expression. I would drop the 'first'. 'Line manager' is probably the term used by most companies here in Ireland (and the UK as well, I'd think.) I also think this has been imported from the US in the first place.
Peer comment(s):
| agree |
George Hopkins
: Yes, drop the 'first'. Ref.: Collins.
