Cant wait for her to retire and get away from it, she works in Children's Services and comes home most nights almost in tears at the way families/kids have been abandoned. She used to spend time with families and now wastes hours every day hot desking (or trying to find somewhere to work) going to nonsensical meetings and moving files from one office to another!
