Neko_Ali:
Keep in mind that Dora has a long history of flying off the handle and making snap, rash decisions. Like firing Faye (very briefly) for hugging Marten. Usually once she calms down a bit she thinks a bit more clearly. But obviously being drunk at work is a big thing for her. In the space of a day's time she's caught Faye trying to bring booze at work, showing up drunk, lying about it and then drinking on the job behind her back. Telling Faye 'Get out, you're fired' is totally in character for Dora.

Now after talking about it with the rest of the crew at the shop, probably Marten and Tai she may calm down some and offer Faye her job back.. on the condition that she gets some real help and stops drinking. The question is how hard will Faye fall in the mean time.

Oh, absolutely in character. My criticism wasn't at Jeph. Something can be in character and still absolutely fucking terrible.

Not firing Faye, extreme, but justified. I mean firing Faye NOW. It'd be one thing if she told Faye to go home and they'd talk in the morning, but firing her when she's drunk and hurting? Faye will no longer feel like she has anything to hold back for, so what happens next will probably be much worse than maintaining a buzz.

She already gave Faye a warning and sent her home the day before. Dora has already stated on at least one occasion that she didn't want Faye drinking on the job and said to Hanners and Cosette that she's relatively okay as a boss as long as they don't come in drunk or high. Well Faye has already gotten a warning and she's broken one of the rules that would have been in her contract. It's not a stupid thing to fire someone when they blatantly ignore the rules you have in place in the workplace.

And how can Dora know exactly how much Faye is hurting? She isn't omnipotent, Dora can't peer into Faye's mind and go "Oh, well she's hurting over Angus". She's already been a friend to Faye, but right now Faye has crossed two lines, drinking on the job and lying to Dora's face. Everyone has that point where they'll stop supporting a friend because they crossed a line and guess what? Dora and Faye have reached that point.

Hopefully this kind of shock will jar Faye into sorting her life out, but given her own character, probably won't happen.

Alphawolf55:
Honestly Faye deserves to be fired. She's already a pretty lousy employee, Dora doesn't need a drunk lousy employee either and quite frankly believing their friendship should give Faye excuses is abuse on Faye's part.

Mr. Skawronska:
Finally, Faye gets some of the comeuppance she deserves.  I actually laughed out loud with today's comic.  Thanks, Jeph!  :-D
