[quote:Anonymous Coward 1010412:MV8yMTEzODA5XzM1NjQwMDQ4X0NCMDYzMjM0] I've heard of plenty of companies getting burned by outsourcing coding work to India and China...even though it's cheaper, it usually comes back to bite them in the ass later on. This guy worked for a "critical infrastructure company"...nice, nothing like letting the wolf into the henhouse [/quote]
Original Message
Bob was his company’s best software developer, got glowing performance reviews and earned more than $250,000 a year.
Then one day last spring, Bob’s employer, an American infrastructure company, thought its computer network had been attacked by a virus.
The ensuing forensic probe revealed that Bob’s software code had in fact been the handiwork of a Chinese subcontractor.
=============
Bob was paying a Chinese firm about $50,000 a year to do his work, then spent the day surfing the web, watching cat videos and updating his Facebook page.
