Personally it isn’t a bad thing, Kevin is a good guy. But the exact reason why he was in the position of all the stuff you just said was for the people that were irritated by Herman.I don't think it's a bad thing at all, but he's hardly been a wallflower. He's literally been front and center of every photo and event.
They literally held up the first zoom meeting on the day he was hired so that they could make sure he was on it.
