Maybe Dora should have closed COD to better support Faye while she was going through a hard time. Dora could even sell CoD to help pay for Faye to go to rehab! Maybe Dora should have followed Faye around drinking all of the drinks before Faye could get to them!
I'm running a bit hot on this issue, but seriously, it's the fourth straight week of people going "Faye's drunk! Why isn't Dora doing anything about that?!"

I think it's a difference of culture. Firing somebody on the spot (no benefits, nothing) is seen as something normal for Americans, but other cultures have very different sensibilities. I think it's horrible that she can even do such a thing without proper procedure. (same with the insurance)
--- Quote from: Cattus on 16 Feb 2015, 11:37 ---I think Tai is going to unload on Dora when she hears of what happened. Tai loves that they are all friends and will hate the fact that Dora and Faye are on the outs. I see her as being a game changer here. The Marten and Claire story will intertwine into this drama but be mostly on the outskirts for a bit while the Faye/Dora story is dealt with. I don't see any major character change or leaving here - they are all key to the QC family. But that's just IMHO. :claireface:

I don't know about Tai - she's high on the job, so she might have a different opinion. If she offers it to Dora, or even calls her out is another matter, since the last thing she wants is an argument.
(I hope some characters get written out - this comic has a lot and I could do with more connected and longer story-arcs and a little faster story progression)
Kugai:
The moment I'm waiting for is when the two of them finally talk to each other. That's gonna be one interesting conversation.
Next week on QC ..........

The thing is, it doesn't matter if it was in America or Europe or South Africa, Faye was fired for being in breach of contract. She was drinking on the job. That's universally something that everyone can be fired for. I've worked in bars and even if someone buys you a drink, you have to leave it until the end of shift or when the bar closes.
The simple thing here, when you begin a job, you sign a contract. That contract is a promise from both employee and employer about what is acceptable and unacceptable in the workplace. Faye broke the terms of that contract by drinking on the job. In the end, it was Faye and Faye alone that got her fired. Dora was in every right to fire her.
TRVA123:
Also, people aren't arguing that Dora is being a bad boss, they are arguing that Dora is being a bad friend. My comments about how Dora could have been a more supportive friend still fit, even when you take the "boss Dora" aspect out of the equation.
Even if someone is your best friend, even if you've known them for years, that does not obligate you to sacrifice your own well being and livelyhood in order to correct their mistakes.

What worries me with Penelope being told all this is that it risks to come back to Sven, through Wil. You folks remember why Dora decided to cut bridges with Sven?
