Camorrison, I also JUST had this happen to me. Since it's happened to at least two of us, my guess is someone got a bit careless with the copy and paste. We probably were both supposed to get the standard form rejection.
EDIT: I reached out to Paula and heard back that it was a glitch on their end. Anyone who got the "I don't consider previously viewed work" when Paula was your one and only Query to the agency, can rest easy knowing it was a mistake.

So, I got a rejection with the only note being that she doesn't review queries that have been sent to the other two agents at ASH. Great. Except, I've never queried either of the other agents there. I can't message saying that, I suppose, since there isn't an option to once the query has been closed. Has anyone else had this happen?
It would appear everyone else is also getting this mistake in their form rejection. Yikes! Glad it was a glitch and not just me, though, haha.

Was rejected because I apparently queried the agency before even though my records show that I haven't. Also, querytracker doesn't allow you to query multiple agents in the same agency anyways. Looking at other comments, this is just unprofessionalism at its best.
