A US software developer was revealed to have outsourced his job to China, instead spending his workdays surfing the internet
The employee, an "inoffensive and quiet" but talented man versed in several programming languages, "spent less than one fifth of his six-figure salary for a Chinese firm to do his job for him.
Evidence even suggested he had the same scam going across multiple companies in the area. All told, it looked like he earned several hundred thousand dollars a year, and only had to pay the Chinese consulting firm about $50,000 (£31,270) annually.

The scam came to light after the US firm asked it for an audit, suspecting a security breach Smiley

It's called "micro economics" hehe!!

So what if he had reorganized himself as a private contractor. Under those conditions his outsourcing would be entirely legitimate. Makes you wonder....

Re: A US software developer was revealed to have outsourced his job to China, instead spending his workdays surfing the internet
I once worked a graveyard shift where I outsourced the cleaning duties to the bums in the parking lot 3 days a week for a few bucks each.

Doing it myself, would have taken me 6-7 hours. Split between 4-5 bums it took an hour and a half tops.

At $12.50 an hour, it was well worth it to be able to sit on my ass and watch movies all night and still get paid.
