A boss who makes a fellow feel old? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

manager

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a boss who' is the definition.
'manager' can be an answer for 'a boss' (I've seen this in another clue). I am not certain of the rest of the definition.

'a fellow feel old?' is the wordplay.
'a fellow' becomes 'man' (fellow can mean a man).
'feel old?' becomes 'ager' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'man'+'ager'='MANAGER'

'makes' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for manager that I've seen before include "executive position" , "Coach" , "who sits on the bench?" , "Boss" , "One in charge of sports team" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
