True but if I have employee Bob who is a supervisor.  Bob supervises
Tina, and Pete but Bob also has a supervisor, Sam.

In this scenario wouldn't Bob have to exist in both the Employee and
Supervisor tables?  That would be duplicate data which is bad.


        Sam (The boss)
          |
        Bob  (middle manager)
      /       \
Tina         Pete (employees)

The following link describes a similar scenario, so this what I'm
trying to model:
