If Marten could just have taken his head out of his ass, his intervention might have avoided this sad situation. You're not just a bystander, Marten!
Around here, we say: Il n'y a pas de sot métier (there is no stupid trade).
Also: Claire, give yourself some slack. Trying to make a living while looking for the job of your dreams is something most people have done one way or another.

Got to ask; what could Marten have possibly said or done in that moment that would have actually helped?
Penquin47:
"Yeah, my ex gave her a pity job so she'd have something to do while she waits for a library job!" Then Aurelia's off the hook for her faux pas because Marten's is so obviously worse, and Claire's laughing at how Marten is obviously joking... right? Right? This wasn't just a pity job from the ex? And then Claire has something new to focus on, but one Marten can more easily talk her down from ("Who cares why she gave you the job? Penelope's got her job because Dora and Faye basically bullied her into it and she was in such a bad mood from it she got fired from her other job, and Emily just happened to be there when Dora was issuing post-Faye changes and Dora just included her in things on accident. Giving you a job because you're her ex's new girlfriend and you need a job while you wait for positive results in finding a career in your field is downright normal, for her. I promise, it's not pity, and people get jobs that way all the time.")
Probably not the best of ideas. Non-intervention in this one was perfectly fine on Marten's part.
Farideh:
Comic's up.
Yeah, Claire has a lot to unpack here.

Ah, drama. :D Mind you, a LOT of folks I know aren't working in their prefered field...
