Oh, yeah, sorry, I was unclear; I do believe that Molly really wanted to! I don't understand WHY, so I didn't find that at all relatable when I think the movie was very certain I would, but I believe that she did. But Amy clearly did not, and said so many times, and neither Molly nor the filmmakers seemed to believe that this was a valid preference or that she wouldn't be better off, in some unclear way, for the experience.
I totally agree, about the workplace dramas! Etc. It happens in books, too, where I totally understand that the underlying reason is probably that the author didn't want to juggle a bunch more characters who weren't relevant to the plot, but it's still disconcerting when somebody seems to have no friends/family/neighbors/coworkers except our plot-relevant handful, and it's not a characterization point about them being isolated or whatever.
