opinions do not represent those of my employer
It is not! Instinctively it might feel so because the grammatical subject is an expletive/dummy “it” so the active verb “has come” doesn’t actually have an agent attached to it.

Ugh that’s so incredibly aggravating though!! I can’t even decide which component of that is the most annoying!

Then again, once I had someone (who just had follow up questions about a proposal they submitted!) email nudge me AND call my office AFTER my EA (who they also emailed) told them I was sick and had been in a car accident! Sometimes nothing is ever enough 😭

Ugh, Rebecca! I relate to this so hard, and am constantly trying to figure out what’s the least amount I can share while making it clear I need some time. I hope you and your family are doing ok, and sorry you have to deal with this on top of everything 💛
