I don't think so. Susan, in the past (first had), was compelled (second had) to quit her job.

The first had is alone, while the second is actually a part of the phrase "had to" which has its own separate meaning. This is a fundamental difference that essentially makes both "had"s different words that are spelled identically.

You mean a grammatical mistake =p

It's awkward phrasing, but it's not necessarily wrong. Honestly, something like "Susan was also forced to quit her job" is a lot smoother. The first sentence is also incredibly awful. Oh, plus there's only one "t" in "benefited." #TheMoreYouKnow --- (\/)(\/)|-| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash ... Copied to Clipboard!
