overman
Staff beyond need
Overman is a translation of the German *Übermensch*, the superior human being that Nietzsche envisioned as transcending conventional morality to create new values.
In mining, an overman is a supervisor of underground workers.
The verb overman means to supply with too many workers: The project was overmanned and over budget.
