DON'T do anything. I'm only venting!

Have you ever felt utterly helpless and useless just listening to someone pouring their heart out, and you cannot do anything?
When my 16-year-old daughter mentioned how unfairly she was being treated while working at McDonald's, I immediately went into mother mode and called the manager and got a transfer for her.
That was two months ago.
She didn't accept the transfer.
Now every weekend, I have to sit and listen to her crying her heart out while clenching my fist and trying to support her
But it is hard because, before each complaint, she tells me that I shouldn't do anything; she is just venting.
How can anyone sit and do nothing?

Especially me.
I believe in nipping things in the bud setting ground rules and boundaries to prevent any confusion.
I always act assertively in everything that I do. I'm not talking like an adult. I was always thinking this way.
If I am uncomfortable with anything, I need to speak up and get it sorted out as soon as possible.
Now MacDonalds is changing her shift and putting her to work after school in the week when they are fully aware that she is completing 6 form
Isn't that taking advantage?
My hands are tied at the moment.
I am in the mind of forgetting what she is asking of me and defending her, but at the same time, I want her to be assertive and sort this out for herself.
What would you do?
Any advice is gladly welcome.
Until next time,
Simone.
