A certain lady says: We needed to get rid of the second job, the secretary, and the belief that we couldn't rest until our work was done.
Earlier in the text it said that her husband had two jobs.
--- Does she mean that her husband should stop working as a "secretary" or that they should get rid of a secretary who worked for them (although the text doesn't say anything that they had a secretary).
