Well, this is one way to quit your job. �I work for an awesome company that makes news videos. I have put my entire life into this job, but my boss only cares about quantity, how fast we write and how many views each video gets,� said Marina Shifrin on her now-viral YouTube resignation. �I believe it�s more important to focus on the quality of the content. When you learn to improve this, the views will come. Here is a little video I made explaining my feelings.� And with that, she�s gone. She�s gone to the tune of Kayne West�s �Gone,� and a nice bit of interpretive dancing. If this isn�t the most meta way to quit a job where you produce viral videos, I don�t know what is. Shifrin worked for Next Media Animation � the popular Taiwanese animation company that has become internet famous for their short, bizarre animated renderings of the day�s hottest news items. Last year in an interview, she talked about the hectic process of speed animation. I guess it all became too much to handle. And if you�re going to go out, there�s nothing like going out with hundreds of thousands of YouTube views.
