Steal from manager obviously (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rob

'steal' is the definition.
(I know that rob is a type of steal)

'from manager obviously' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates a hidden word.
'ROB' is hidden within 'manager obviously'.

(Other definitions for rob that I've seen before include "Steal violently" , "sack" , "Steal or purloin" , "Steal from (someone)" , "Take without consent from the owner" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
