She didn't identify the company or the boss, though, and didn't really say anything bad about the job, other than the part about only caring about hits.
It will probably get more hits than anything she did working for him.
I'm a boss, but I totally get the joy of quitting a job that you don't like. I always wish people well when they quit, and usually manage to keep it on a positive note of no hard feeling. I encourage my people to strike out on their own all the time, and start a business or even find a better job. I think we provide a great place to work, but people are different - we need and want different things. Some enjoy high pressure, long hours, and some enjoy a casual fun workplace. I try to get the benefit of both, with fun being most important, but that's not ideal for everyone.
I know it's tough finding a job, but now days there are so many options that people should be brave and go for what they want. Sometimes the job you imagine you want is not the one you will enjoy at all. Look for open-ended potential that still allows you to maintain your sanity and self-respect. Who you work for is the most important factor, and I think you generally find better bosses at smaller companies. Moving up in a larger corporation generally requires skills you don't want used on you, unless you are highly motivated by money and very capable of competing hard. We're not all looking for the same thing, and no single workplace is right for everyone.
Is there any joy more profound than quitting a rotten job? Besides divorce I mean........This is in good taste and not really malicious, but it could spark a dangerous trend. I see many You Tube videos of employees taking a dump on the desk of their boss. That would be wrong. I would go with fake vomit. Same message but you're not screwing over the cleaning staff.

4:30 am: Get Out of There Before the Clowns Come.
Hilarious.
"Hilarious."
Until your prospective NEXT employer sees it.
Your boss isn't supposed to be concerned about anything except your performance at work.
If you want to be special to somebody, get married and have kids.
That's the way it works.
It's pronounced CAHN-yay.
Have I got that right?
I feel fairly confident that I've got the "West" part nailed down well enough.
That's the way it works.
Being a good husband and father works, too, so I've read.

Exactly.
At least she didn't flip-off the camera, or moon the camera, or worse.

Could have been worse.
...and why seniors don't get hired.
Job Interview:
Human Resources Manager: "What is your greatest weakness?"
Old Man: "Honesty."
Human Resources Manager: "I don't think honesty is a weakness."
Old Man: "I don't really give a shit what you think."
Being a good husband and father works, too, so I've read.
No disagreement there.
Raising my kids was a hell of a lot more fun and rewarding than working at some fucking job.
..and why seniors don't get hired.
Recent feedback from interview... I'm insufficiently enthusiastic.
No shit! Wonder how that happened!

Oh, I dunno about being unable to get hired again.
She's in a creative biz, they chew each other up like so many Cheerios, and memory is a little short.
"Who are you again?".
She didn't steal or kill anyone or even diss her boss. One minor criticism, and a last-day-of-class goof.
She'll be okay.

Given her profession, creating a successful viral video will *improve* her chances of landing a good gig someplace else.
As someone who occasionally finds himself working at 4:30 AM, I've gotta say I've never had the slightest urge to dance.

I haven't felt the urge to dance in the office when working late, but I did crank up my speakers and air guitar to Bad Company last weekend.
