[quote=Anonymous]This woman needs an emotional outlet and someone who will place boundaries on her venting. Part of your job as a boss is to support your team emotionally so they don't quit on you, OP. She's in her 50s, so this is really hard for her, because ageism is real and if she's unsupported here, she may have to suffer through it anyway, since she might not find a job elsewhere... You need to grow a heart and pretend to be sympathetic for a few minutes every day. Tell her this specifically, so she understands what her venting means for you: "Larla, you know I can't do anything to help you in practice. But you can come into my office to vent for a 15 minutes every Friday. Here, I'm starting the timer. I will listen closely during that time. Sit down and let it all out." [/quote]
