If that were true, she wouldn't have been promoted to management.
Alphawolf55:
Again best of the worse. No one is making Hannelore and Mono assistant manager. Cosette is a student and way too clumsy for the job. Penelope was the only real competition and Dora putting Faye over her was probably an act of seniority and favoritism.
qc001:
I would be delighted to have tomorrow's comic (or whenever we return to the Dora-Faye-CoD situation) pick up two seconds after this one leaves off, along the lines of:
Dora: "You're fired, until such time as you sober up and start to get your shit together again. See Dr. Corrinne, enroll in AA, maybe talk to Angus when you feel up to it. When you've got a hold on things again, come back here and talk about your job with Boss-Dora. Until then, I'm Friend-Dora, only."
::cue Marten/Hannelore/Whitaker Family/MariDale/Tai/Jimbo?/[anyone else who wants to show up] to step up and take Faye away for some serious intervention time::
I am of the camp that both Dora and Faye (and most everyone in the cast, perhaps excepting Hannelore) can do some pretty shitty things at times, but I'm hoping that this is just drama for art's sake with the comic, and not going to spiral hideously out of control for everybody.
Okay, relurking powers, activate!!

So Dora is simultaneously the kind of person who would make the decision to immediately fire a friend without question for drinking when they know they're suffering after turning down a more competent employee out of pure favouritism?
Look, whilst I understand humans are creatures of contradiction, you have to understand just how hard I'm calling bullshit on this.
Warning - while you were typing a new coworker has appeared. Hide your bottle under your shirt before they notice.

She's lost the job that was the center of her social life and which gave her a purpose and scope for growth. The job market is terrible where she lives (remember Momo's difficulties). It was not the drinking that did it, but she's lost the relationship she was depending on for healing.
What she has left is Marten, who might try to cover all the rent himself out of confusing martyrdom with friendship, but who probably can't afford to. And even Marten can be pushed too far.
EDIT: She doesn't even have a car to live in after losing the apartment.

Yeah, it's quite ironic that she decided to not go with Angus to NYC because she was afraid of change/liked her life the way it was. And now, in only a few short days, she's completely wrecked that life.
Honestly, if Faye wasn't stuck in a depressive cycle I'd wonder if she'd come crawling back to Angus and beg to come with him to New York at this point, leaving behind a messy situation and run away from her problems yet again. But she's going to be heavy into the self loathing for awhile yet.
