Marina Shifrin quit her job producing viral videos at at Next Media Animation (the folks who make those crazy Taiwanese news animations), by posting a viral video of herself dancing along with a text explanation.
We hope she already has another job lined up, at a company that doesn't care about page views. We can admire her chutzpah and dedication to her journalism ideals, but we all know that it's hard to get someone to hire you after you've publicly criticized your previous boss. I've seen it happen too many time, and although that taboo tends to insulate bad managers from accountability, that's the way it is.
The music is "Gone" by Kanye West and contains NSFW lyrics.

I don't think the criticism was offensive, and certainly not enough as to damage her chances of getting a new job. It's probably along the lines of what she'd say at an interview of asked 'why did you leave your last job?' And she has millions of hits, which would tell a future employee something about her ability to get a video talked about... although that's exactly what she rails against in the video of course!
