Pyrimid a tall hierarchical structure, in other words, then I would be the boss, with a general manager working as your employee, who has a team, that on its turn supervises the employees. I think I mean a Flat structure (with the owners being “one of the guysâ€Â)

April and Arlene will share management and supervisory responsibilities equally. Arlene for the morning shift. April for the afternoon shift.
