On Saturday, writer Marina Shifrin uploaded an epic video onto YouTube with one simple message for her boss Next Media Animation: she quits. Yesterday, employees at this Taiwanese animation company uploaded a video response to YouTube “We’re hiring”. They perform their own “interpretive dance” to Kanye West’s “Gone” and wish Shifrin well.

In her video Shifrin dances around her office at odd hours of the night while describing exactly why she needs to leave her job. In a Skype chat with The Huffington Post, Shifrin wrote that the Taiwanese work environment is very different from the American work environment. She got no lunch break and her boss was constantly changing her schedule and responsibilities. After her managers failed to help her, she decided to make the video. “I understood that it was a risk, but I never named the company or my boss and I mean, have you seen my dancing? How can anyone take that seriously,” she said. Shifrin said her first move is to come back to The United States. After that, she plans on looking for jobs at companies that value creativity and their employees.

Until now the former employer attracted nearly 350 000 views still compared to nearly 8 100 000 views for Shifrin video. But what does it mean? ThinkMarketingMagazine writes “Even if it seems the We Are Hiring video is far behind the Resignation video, I still find it great maneuver from Next Media Animation guys manage to find an idea to inject the company name into the story take the digital buzz around Marina’s viral video to the next level and grab the media attention ! “
