Some things are so ridiculous, they can only have occurred in actual life. A software developer has been captured, having outsourced his own job to China, paying a little part of his salary for others to do his work while he looked at Reddit and viewed cat video clips.
Getting their job outsourced
Some, particularly those who labor in tedious offices trades, have likely joked about outsourcing their own job, though they do not mean typical outsourcing. Normally, outsourcing is where a business fires a bunch of employees, hires a whole bunch of new workers overseas to do the same work and pays them next to nothing. Executives pocket the cash and talk about how innovative they are.
When people joke about outsourcing, they mean that they pay pretty much nothing to get somebody else to do their jobs for them. According to BBC, this is not a joke, and one man has decided to do it.
The man's identity isn't known - he's being called "Bob" in the media - but he outsourced his own job, paying a Chinese company to do his own work as a software developer.
Cat videos apparently that entertaining
Bob, the male who outsourced his own job, was a software developer who works for a company in the United States. It's not known which one. The company hired Verizon to assess the security of its virtual private network, as it noticed a number of log-ins and PDF files from China, according to NPR.
It was found that Bob employed a Chinese software consultancy firm to do the work. Before he was found, Bob was considered a model employee. He had really high quality work and always met his work deadlines. Bob made hundreds of thousands of dollars a year due to the good work.
During work hours, Bob was surfing the internet, looking at cat movies and buying things on EBay. Verizon found Chinese contractors logged in when he was at work. He used an RSA token, according to PC Magazine.
Was doing it for months
Bob might need some loans to get by now that anything is said and done. He was paying about $50,000 a year for the work, which was less than 20 percent of his annual salary. He used many companies apparently.
It was certainly anticipated that Bob got terminated.
