EN: foreman, overseer
The OG team lead. Before there were supervisors in BPO offices, there was the 'kapatas' in the construction site or hacienda. He's the guy who shouts instructions, checks the work, and makes sure no one is just scrolling on their phone. The 'boss' on the ground level.
From Spanish 'capataz' (foreman).
Associated with manual labor fields like construction and agriculture. Can sometimes have a slightly negative connotation of being a strict taskmaster.
