But like many people who have developed problems, Faye cant see it. I foresee that she has yet to hit rock bottom....

... I guess, but anyone who is holding Dora to that standard, but not Marten.... is kinda holding a double standard.

My problem wasn't just that Dora didn't tell her to get help, but either way that's an unfair comparison.
Dora has known Faye for longer, for one. She also spends far more time with Faye than Marten does, and unlike Marten, Dora has been directly told by Faye that she wants to drink herself into oblivion. As far as we've seen, Marten has only observed Faye drinking earlier in the day than usual. Dora has far more information about the situation that Marten does. And, after catching Faye drinking on the job, (Which should come as no surprise after Faye said she wanted to be drunk on the job the day before, came in reeking of booze, happy, and had no hangover,) Dora didn't seem concerned or sympathetic in the slightest, just angry.
So yes, I hold Dora to a different standard then Marten, because Marten is far more ignorant of the situation and hasn't reacted with pure anger to his best friend hitting rock bottom.

YOU, are a small business owner. You have recently promoted a long time friend to Assistant manager at her urging, because it will cut back on your workload. Said friend had previously signed a contract with you stating that she would not drink at work, do drugs at work, or any other actions that might interfere with her ability to preform her assigned duties.
Said friend is now clearly in breach of contract. You have a choice at this point. Act like her friend, or act like her boss. Previously, your other employees have expressed disapproval at the friend's promotion. If you allow your friend to continue at work after a large breach of contract, what kind of message does it send? What does it say to those employees who no doubt have their own problems, but continue to show up to work sober no matter the temptation to get shitfaced?
Also, we haven't seen Marten's reaction to this situation. Remember when he had to deal with Dora's problems? He reacted with anger and disgust at the end of his rope. He's likely going to leave Faye by herself, or have to cancel his date with Claire to deal with Faye. This is going to breed resentment. Marten is zen yes, but human nature dictates that at some point he will snap and react in a similar manner to Dora if Faye doesn't straighten out.
Method of Madness:
I highly doubt Faye signed a contract of any sort.
Magniras:
Dora was a massive control freak and did everything by the book. I'd be surprised if Faye didn't have some sort of contract.
