Meh, I don't want to speak on behalf of someone else and say she's brainwashed, has Stockholm syndrome or anything of that sort. If she's truly happy with that kind of work environment then I wish her the best of luck finding another environment like that, and all of us to whom this sounds like torture can be glad that there are plenty of workplaces that don't function like this.

There's no need to be presumptuous, different strokes for different folks.
