Everyone here seems to have sent in their applications within the recommended time frame, this isn't about that, it's about USCIS not having their stuff together.

So question to anyone that's still around after their get their EADs and had to wait between getting approved and getting their cards: Does the EAD still follow the date on the i-821D approval or is it dated from the time it was produced? My manager just asked me this question today and I hadn't thought of this before.
