Any tips for dealing a friend that goes on for hours about how awful her job is yet has no intention of leaving ?

I’ve tried the obvious like listen for a while then change the subject but then she just goes back to it, it’s all about how awful the place is and she goes into great detail about all the other people who work there, and it’s getting to the point that I’m starting to avoid her

It’s a very very part time casual job too, not like she’s there all day everyday, she doesn’t financially need to be there and also has no plans to look for anything else

It feels like when someone goes on about how awful their husband is for hours everytime you see them yet they have no attention of actually addressing. Problems or considering leaving

So other than ask if she’s gonna look for something else or change the subject what else can I try ?
Otherwise I’m gonna have to start to see her less
