operators
Those who run things
Operators are people who operate things—machines, systems, or businesses.
A telephone operator connects calls; a crane operator runs heavy equipment; a tour operator organizes travel.
In computing and mathematics, operators are symbols that perform operations: the plus sign, the equals sign, multiplication.
The term also describes people skilled at manipulation, often with a shade of cunning: He's a smooth operator.
In military and intelligence contexts, operators are personnel who conduct field missions.
