She couldn't get out of there fast enough. Understaffed and underfunded. Career idiots in senior positions waiting to retire. Constant turnover because they can't keep the smart and hard working younger staff. She hated to leave her case load but could not stay.

Long ago when I was young and dating, I dated a chick that was in college working towards a degree so she could get a job at the State level in children's services. She had wanted to do it all he life. She graduated, and finally quit in disgust after just 18 months. All the bosses were there to do as little as possible to draw a fat paycheck. They openly had zero compassion for the kids, and had hearts of stone. All that mattered to them was a 9 to 5 job with a long lunch break and lots of state benefits and retirement as soon as possible. The kids were just not even a concern. It just crushed the chick I was dating, but she could not work 18 hours days and get overruled at every turn.
I suggest she write a story and send it to the local TV stations and the newspaper. We broke up not long after so I don't know what she did.
