Shimmy, Shimmy, Quit
The interpretive dance resignation video has gone completely viral, garnering nearly 4.5 million views by Tuesday morning, reports Orlando's WKMG-TV. You can see it for yourself here:Encore?
This may be the coolest way to quit your job -- not to mention the most efficient (after all, you're getting your resignation and daily workout in). But this is one of the most foolhardy ways to quit your job, too. Prospective employers will no doubt have Shifrin's interpretive moves on their minds when considering her for a position. From their perspective, this video is a clusterf(abulous) liability that raises a number of red flags ranging from loyalty issues to confidentiality and professionalism. Remember kids, an awkward social media presence can cost you a job. But who are we kidding? With that awesomely over-the-top stunt, Shifrin will probably land a sweet gig like a snarky column -- just like the insane sorority girl who wrote that crazy letter with a lexicon of imaginative curse-words. Though prospective employers may be none too pleased with her grandiose exit, her mother is pumped -- but not about the resignation. "My mother is thrilled by all the men proposing to me on Twitter," Shifrin wrote, according to WKMG-TV. "She could care less about my dancing." And... jazz hands (and maybe wedding bells)!
