It is not Dora's responsibility to take care of Faye, but if they really are friends then she should have at least tried something during Faye's spiral towards oblivion before it got to this point.

I reiterate the fact that, for years, all of Faye's friends have helped. And helped. And helped.
The sum total of all of this help has been... ?

Faye generally improving, becoming more friendly, happier, capable... Up until this relapse, Faye's outlook has generally been improving. And Faye has helped others when she could. The Vespavenger comes to mind, standing up for Marten when his ex came around, many other things which I don't have the time or memory to recount. It has not been an entirely one-way relationship.
Also: Ditching your friends because they're too needy when they most desperately need your help is a shitty thing to do.

No she wasn't. There's no friendly way to do that. You really don't understand until you have to drop your best friend in the world like a bad habit because they are self destructive drinkers who will happily take everyone else down with them. You look back on all the damage you've suffered--real and emotional--doing "something else" to honor the friendship and realize it was all pointless.
What Faye did, no matter the reason, really is friendship ending level stuff. Dora would only be wrong here if she dragged it out. "Go home. You're fired." is the second kindest thing she could have done.
The kindest being: "You're fired. Go home."

It's been....3 days since the breakup? I don't see that Dora had a LOT of time to intervene, and since Faye was trying to play off the alcohol problem, I feel she should be cut some slack. She's also dealing with the hurt of cutting her brother, her blood relative, out of her life. I think she should be forgiven a little lack of observation.
She's hurting too. She's loosing her brother and now must feel more than a little betrayed that her best friend would do something like this on the job after being warned, more than once that drinking and being drunk on the job is one of her major lines.
She may have every intention of doing the friend Dora part later on. Right now boss Dora has every right to be pissed. At least that's my opinion.
