Every now and again, news outlets fall for a story by satirical news site "The Onion" but several things are so absurd, they have to be true. Take for instance, the male who outsourced his own job. He didn't fire himself to pad executive pockets, but hired a Chinese company to do his work for him on the cheap so he could sit and watch kitty video clips while at work.
Man outsourced his own job and it's not from The Onion
When a company outsources labor, it usually means they are firing a variety of workers and paying next-to-nothing for someone in another country to do the labor. Then, executives make extra cash for the change. People who work in hard jobs most likely consider outsourcing the labor, but they do not mean it in the same sense.
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 is not known - he's being called "Bob" in the media - but he outsourced his own career, paying a Chinese business to do his own work as a software developer.
Cat videos evidently that entertaining
Bob worked at a company as a software creator. The business noticed it was receiving a variety of stuff from China and decided to hire Verizon to assess the security in its network.
Bob's work at the business was considered timely and of high-quality, making him a model employee at the company. He was making hundreds of thousands of dollars a year at his job until he had been discovered. The company figured out that he employed a software consultancy firm in China to do the work.
An RSA token was used and shipped to China, according to PC Magazine. While at work, he was really looking at cat video clips on YouTube, surfing the internet and buying things online. While at his desk, the Chinese contractors were logged in.
Terminated from his career
Bob reportedly outsourced his own job from several corporations. Though he was pulling down hundreds of thousands, it was costing him about $50,000 per year to pay for the work, amounting to less than 20 percent of his annual salary, according to the BBC. Granted, now he may need some loans to get by if he's blown all his earnings on eBay goodies.
Bob was fired, clearly.
