Manager

Invented in Love's Labour's Lost

be still, drum! for your manager is in love (1.2.170)

Michael Scott would be nowhere without this term, but it didn't always apply to office hierarchies. When Shakespeare used it, it simply meant—you guessed it—someone who manages (handles, organizes, etc.) something else.
