Pull Away and Request For Her

Question

I was explaining to my Mexican officemate this situation.

"Contrató a una mujer porque si fuera una mujer, sería difícil para otros departamentos a tirarla y le piden para conducir y llevar las cosas"

I was trying to say that my boss hired this time a lady so that it would be very hard for other departments to pull her away from asking her to drive and carry stuff.

My officemate said that the literal machine translation doesn't work and the right word is quitar.

Might as well ask for your suggestions on how to make the sentence better.

Hey! Some of may not be as suitable for carrying heavy stuff, but c'mon this is 2010, most of us can drive. ;) - galsally, Dec 21, 2010

Answer 1

"Contrató a una mujer, ya que siendo mujer, es más difícil que otros departamentos la quiten de sus obligaciones para pedirle que maneje y lleve cosas"

Ok, now I understand, it doesn't exist a phrase to say "to pull someone away" that carries that meaning, you have to set "quitarla de sus obligaciones", "to pull away from her duties" to have the same meaning

to pull her away or pluck her out from what she is doing, or borrow her from my boss... - babalou, Dec 21, 2010

thank you, after all my mexican officemate is right! - babalou, Dec 21, 2010
