SEATTLE — Time magazine reported that Marina Shifrin spent many hours, and nearly two years by her account, working for Taiwanese animator, Next Media Animation. But apparently, Shifrin had had enough and rather that submitting a formal letter of resignation, she decided to leave her boss a booty-shaking video farewell.

In the video, set to Kayne West’s “Gone,” Shifrin laments the industry’s focus on video views versus content quality and how much the job cost her in terms of relationships and her personal time.

It’s no surprise the video has gone viral, and when asked by one of her Twitter followers what her boss’ response to the video was, she pithily replied, “I accept your resignation.”

A much better solution than going postal. I approve.

Relatively polite, remained dressed, praise for the company - I think it was a decent resignation.

Except for the music, it's great. :P

It's got a good beat, and you can dance to it.

She's adorable. And I'd say that was pretty well handled all around. Well, other than working at 4:30am to churn out animations lacking content. :)

Ironic that her "I quit" video is probably going to gather exponentially more views than the animations they produce.

The response was far more awesome than the initial video

Not really. In the large group session at the end there were some folks who weren't overly enthused, but that probably has much more to do with not wanting to be on video in general than anything else.

The solo people looked like they were having fun.
