Anytime!
Non-ProZ.com Apr 14, 2005:
thanks, deb! Just wanted to make sure
Deborah do Carmo Apr 14, 2005:
I went of course with the second meaning but the first would indicate it is rank and therefore what you are possibly looking for

I'm not sure. This a general term, not a specific one like 'General manager, Operational manager'. Is line manager a level? (like employee, supervisor, ...)
Deborah do Carmo Apr 14, 2005:
then Rob's answer is fine - thanks :-)
Non-ProZ.com Apr 14, 2005:
No, this refers to a rank, level,.... not to any production line
Deborah do Carmo Apr 14, 2005:
Hi Pierre, is there any production line at play in your text?

Hi, Kate. Nice to 'hear' from you again. :-)
agree Ljiljana Malovic : One more example: "If an employee rings in sick, it is important that you as their line manager take the call personally."
