What do you do when your girlfriend insists on talking about her work all the time? I want to be supportive but it’s getting a bit much.

Just nod and say, “That’s crazy.”
Have you asked her to not talk about work all the time? If you have and explained you would like to have more non work related conversations – tell her again. If it continues, leave the room, go for a walk or watch TV in another room. You are not required to listen to someone talk about the ins and outs of their work on a regular basis.
Notice how she talks crap about all her coworkers but pretends to be besties when they are together.
She’s proud of her work! Let her be proud😊
“Yes dear.”
Omg I need more comments because that’s my husband. All work talk all day everyday and night. I definitely don’t want to be rude. I know he’s just venting or using me as a sound board and I try to catch all the important stuff but its overwhelming for me, especially when shit hits the fan (which literally everyday) and I don’t even work there.
I’d advise you that during a calm not work rant period, such as the weekend, to tell her to ask you if you have the headspace for a workplace emotional dump before plunging into it. Explain you’re supportive and that you care for her but you require a check in before shouldering her workplace problems as you may not have the energy for it. If she doesn’t respect that, she doesn’t respect you.
Wait till she’s your wife 😏
