Not the way the world works now, neo.
A toxic workplace is emotionally and mentally draining, and only another toxic workplace would look at your decision to leave early and think negatively of it. People change jobs all the time and you only have to say if asked "it was a great opportunity, but I could tell quickly it just wasn't a good fit." Only another jackass manager would assume it reflected badly on the gf.
World is changing, man, a good employee has a lot more power.
See, this is unrealistic. A guy with a few years experience leaving a job early, ok, he can do that. A chick out of college leaving a job 2 months in? Thats a tough position for further interviews. Its not like a hiring manager or recruiter is going to hear a college grad say "it wasn't a good fit" and just accept that. They're going to follow up with why wasnt it a good fit, because they dont want you to come work there and leave soon as well. You say a "good employee" has power..yeah.... but the chick is out of college. Her resume is going to say she graduated, work ed one place for a while, then couldnt handle the next real job. Maybe she can explain that her work environment is toxic, but to a recruiter or hiring manager, they cant just assume it was too difficult to stay. Its fucked up, but thats how hiring works. She's a college grad at the end of the year looking for a job. Tough time to go looking, and more tough when you leave 2 months in.
Now, its a tough position, not impossible. What I'm saying is "leaving" isnt as simple as that, and tbh OP's chick prob cant handle that. Sure, she can leave, which is the best for her emotional well being, but, get ready to hear her vent on the difficulty of finding a new job AND working the old one. Regardless of what she does, either stay at the current job or walk out tomorrow, she is gonna be venting. Thats why I say it sounds like she needs to learn to be happy despite bs at work. She was venting when she was in college. Its the same issue that OP wrote months ago. She doesnt have a fulfilling life so stress takes a bigger toll on her.

Anyway, at one point she said the only thing in her life that truly makes her happy is me.
Where is she going to run to when there's a shitty situation in her life?
