Come in
What does come in mean in these situations: the board/investors/head department etc. 'come(s) in'? (I heard it several times, and in all situations it was about authority in some of its manifestation visiting the work space, where they don't work themselves - where junior staff works).
Thank you!

Hi
I think you are right to say there is a colloquial sense there
- We had the shop running really well. We were making a profit and we were all happy. Then the head of department comes in and messes it all up
Yes, I think it can exactly mean that an authority figure intervenes in an unwelcome and unhelpful way
