Ah, now I've got it. There's really nothing to translate.

I must admit I had never heard of the woman until now. But I did a bit of Googling, and ... fascinating!

An awful, awful, awful place
Posted on Sun, 27 Aug 2023
An awful, awful, awful place to work, from what you've told me. I wouldn't blame anyone for leaving.
