Some things are so absurd, they can only have happened in actual life. A software creator 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 checked out Reddit and viewed cat movies.
Getting their job outsourced
When a business outsources labor, it usually means they are firing a bunch of employees and paying next-to-nothing for someone in another country to do the labor. Then, executives make additional cash for the change. People who work in hard jobs probably consider outsourcing the labor, but they do not mean it in the same sense.
When people joke about outsourcing, they mean that they pay virtually 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 is unknown, and he is referred to as "Bob," but he outsourced his career. As a software creator, he paid a Chinese business to do everything for pennies.
Cat videos evidently that entertaining
Bob worked at a company as a software developer. The company noticed it was receiving a variety of stuff from China and decided to hire Verizon to assess the security in its network.
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 deadlines. Bob made hundreds of thousands of dollars a year due to the good work.
He received an RSA token, put simply an encrypted USB dongle, according to PC Magazine, and FedEx-shipped it to China. Verizon found the Chinese contractors were logged in while he was at his desk. What he was doing was web-surfing, looking at websites like eBay, Reddit, LinkedIn and Facebook and looking at cat movies on YouTube.
Company not happy about it
Bob reportedly outsourced his own job from many companies. Though he was pulling down hundreds of thousands, it was costing him about $50,000 per year to cover the work, amounting to less than 20 percent of his annual salary, according to the BBC. Granted, now he might need some loans to get by if he's blown all his earnings on eBay goodies.
Bob, as you can imagine, has been terminated.
