I see no problem with what she said. The fact that so many seem to be bothered by this speaks volumes about our current culture and lack of work ethic.
We just don’t know enough about the situation to judge. Her bonus might be tied to an increase in the number of widgets sold. She could have been part of an executive team that bought a somewhat smaller widget maker company for an outrageous price, thereby doubling the amount of widgets sold. The company is left in a financially dangerous situation that will increase the debt the company carries by five times.
Fast forward a few years and she’s part of a team that sells the acquired company for pennies on the dollar but she got rid of a chunk of the company’s debt so she earns another big bonus.

Some people can't handle the truth.
She went a bit far towards the end, but I'd rather have someone be straight with me than blow smoke up my rear.
I had a boss that gave a speech like that once, with a few more expletives. He wasn't angry with the people who worked for him but rather those above him who had put us in a near impossible position. About 1/3 of the team checked out after the meeting, the other 2/3s got it done. You learn who you want to be in a foxhole with when things get tough.
