Mr. Skawronska:
--- Quote from: brown paper bag on 19 Jan 2015, 19:41 ---I approve of "time to shit all over Faye". As a selfish thoughtless bitch, she's had it a long time coming. Treated Marten like garbage for years while harboring a secret crush. Used to physically assault Marten and others. Used Marten and others as emotional crutches. Fucked a well-known douchebag in a friends with benefits situation for months and was too thick to foresee that she'd eventually suffer collateral damage from his douchebaggery. Treated a dude like shit for years, warmed up to him, loved him, then effectively told him to go fuck himself when he wanted to follow his dreams. Dad dying is an explanation that only works for so long. Eventually one has to take responsibility for their shitty actions.

I see I am not the only one who despises Faye for her ongoing human cockroach behavior.
--- Quote ---Dora firing Faye is completely in line with Dora's hasty shithead behavior that she's showed for years in the comic. If she gets pissed off, she literally burns everything down. Dumped Marten for standing up for himself. Disowned her own brother. Now she's fired Faye. Dora has no concept of loyalty or empathy. I'm actually more interested to see where Dora's character arc goes, if it goes anywhere at all. I think Jeph uses Dora as a one-dimensional stereotype of erratic bitch behavior that we've all had experience with. I'd like to see Dora completely alone and possibly a meth-head after seeing the way she alienates everyone.

Oh, I don't know about seeing Dora alone and a meth-head. But it would be nice to see the world backhand the everloving sunshine out of her a couple of times for her overall contribution to the character misery index.
But Faye...oh, Faye...I'm watching that girl's deconstruction with rapture and popcorn. Dora's probably got a couple of serious spankings coming, too, but that won't distract me from The Main Event.

--- Quote from: BenRG on 21 Jan 2015, 23:33 ---Regarding Marten, thanks to life events, he hasn't been spending as much time at the apartment as he usually does. He may have only seen Faye early and late. Combined with his knowledge of how badly breaking up with Angus has hit her, he's probably has been giving her the benefit of the doubt. He's going to be out until late today with Claire so he likely won't find out about this until tomorrow morning unless Dora thinks to ask Tai to warn him.

Dora's gonna have to call in one of the others to cover the empty shift now, so there's a 2/3 chance of Hanners or Cosette. The phone tree will get to him pretty quick, with either of those.
Arancaytar:
So. That just happened.
Whatever I think of Dora and Faye in general (they both tend to be pretty abrasive, honestly), Dora is completely in the right here. This didn't come out of nowhere - Faye being an ass to customers has been a staple gag as long as she's worked there, and while that used to be business as usual, Dora's disapproved of Faye's antics for quite a while. This not really a "final straw", because drinking on the job has been worse than anything she normally does, but it does explain why Dora isn't giving her another warning here.
If Faye manages to get her shit together after this, I think she'd likely get rehired. But so far she hasn't taken any of Dora's warnings seriously, and that is why Dora isn't sticking to a warning this time.
Edit: By the way, speaking of Dora's "get some help", it's been quite a while since Faye's talked to her therapist, hasn't it?
Emperor Norton:
Wow, can people tone down the "Lol, glad she gets what she deserves/Dora is a complete bitch" crap.
Not only is it pretty shitty, I'd rather this thread not turn into the Marten/Dora breakup thread.

--- Quote from: haikupoet on 21 Jan 2015, 21:53 ---I'm baffled as to how anyone can not be giving Dora the benefit of the doubt here. In my view, it's reasonable, even desirable, to be friends with your employees, but you still have to be a hardass when shit hits the fan like this. Now, admittedly, I'm an aspie so this is something that'll probably come across as being very weird to some people, but you gotta do what's best for the situation, right?
--- End quote ---
I'm an Aspie as well. I'm confused by people thinking Dora is wrong in any way at all here too. I've never really liked Dora, but this is making me respect her. She set very obvious ground rules which Faye decided to ignore. CoD is Dora's baby, it's her life and livelihood. I'm starting to like Dora and dislike Faye, never even saw it coming.
--- End quote ---
I'm not an aspie (and not American) and I also think Dora is doing the completely right thing, anger included. She is also doing the right thing for Faye: tolerating her doing this sort of thing is the last thing she needs. The only thing she can do as a friend is to support Faye once she's started on the road to recovery, now there's nothing to do but be tough.
I can't really imagine Faye getting rehired. She needs to sober up, and then take the next step in her life. Dora has been trying to push her to do that before (the art projects). And, in general, I think going back to places you once worked never works out anyway, and definitely not after this.
