How a 'model' employee got away with outsourcing his software job to China
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.

Re: How a 'model' employee got away with outsourcing his software job to China
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

Lmfao:

By all accounts, the Chinese contractor did an excellent job and until then it reflected well on Bob.

“His code was clean, well-written, and submitted in a timely fashion,” Mr. Valentine noted. “Quarter after quarter, his performance review noted him as the best developer in the building.”

No wonder the US is outsourcing jobs overseas. The high tech skilled market is much, much better. (Note: most high tech or highly skilled jobs in today's US market are shipped overseas to India, China and even the middle east such as Israel).

All his bosses will love (and envy) it, however not openly. It will become an urban ledgend in and around the company and their 'culture'.

You have 2 (actually 3) choices in a predatory falsified matrix; be a slave or a parasite. (or choose not to play and BECOME REAL attempting to oscillate toward authentic genuine Divine Law).

The end of this 'game' is in sight (!).
