I don't think Faye is being a bitch to Hanners. I mean, Faye isn't being all sunshine, but who would be in this situation. She needs to be firm about not crawling back to Dora. No matter how much pressure their respective friends put on them to reconcile and make "everything just like it was before".
I think both Dora and Faye realize that that chapter in their lives and their friendship is over. I'm not saying that they won't eventually work things out and become friends again, but I don't think it will be an easy thing.

I dunno. Call me crazy, but I think ybtlamw had it more or less on the head up above. Faye's reaction and expressions in the first, third, and final panels pretty much speak volumes to me that not only is she kinda being shitty towards Hanners who is, let's face it, probably the ONLY person who WON'T judge her overly harshly for what just happened... She's pretty much writing off Dora, who just reacted EXTREMELY well for the situation as well.
I'm not saying I expected it to go back to business as usual, that kinda wasn't an option, really. But for her to have that final reaction to Hanners.. It's kinda like she suddenly just lost all respect and/or tolerance of the people she calls friends. It seems like not only is she NOT ready to grow, but she's pretty much in a tailspin just waiting for terminal velocity to wake up half drunk in a trailer park somewhere in a really bad situation, IF she wakes up at all. All the progress she seemed to be making on the face of things with being social and NOT being shitty towards others is pretty much gone. If you can treat someone like Hanners, who wants nothing more than to see everyone happy, like crap.. well... not much else needs to be said.
kyraeus:
Actually, I should qualify that. I don't think she ever really WILL realize what she's doing at this rate. I'm honestly questioning whether she'll be able to not only avoid rationalizing her attitude and actions, but realize that she's been pretty much nothing but a gigantic bitch to.. well, pretty much everyone at some point or another in a big way.
And even if she does.. Well, it'd be a pretty huge revelation, and frankly if I was in her shoes, I'd probably crawl into a hole somewhere and never come back out, rather than feeling like I could EVER make amends for what's gone down. I really actually hope to see some dialogue between herself and her mom about this, but I doubt that would ever happen, and if so, I don't see her mom being the guiding force in her life she really seems to need right now.
Oenone:
I think capping off the "we quit!" moment for Dora was the strip a few days later, when Faye suggests hiring Dale because he looks like a wimp. I thought the Wtf?? Moment for Dora then was that Faye legit didn't care how much her coworkers disliked working with her.
SmilingHobo:
I think Faye is just cranky/in a bad mood, and understandably so. She's lost her job and her boyfriend, and now she has to quit drinking cold turkey. It doesn't justify her being curt with Hanners, but I think everyone has been in a bad mood and behaved similarly at some point in their lives. She's acting like a human being...the less pleasant side of that humanity is on display now, but I wouldn't be so quick to demonize Faye.
