Comment from frustrated employee in university, through being all over the place (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ubiquity

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'all over the place' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'comment from frustrated employee in university through' is the wordplay.
'comment from frustrated employee' becomes 'iquit' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'university' becomes 'U' (abbreviation for university).
'through' becomes 'by'.
'u'+'by'='uby'
'iquit' inserted within 'uby' is 'UBIQUITY'.

'being' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ubiquity that I've seen before include "appearing everywhere" , "all over the place" , "Universality" , "Existence everywhere at the same time" , "State of being (or seeming to be) everywhere at once" .)
