Typically, when one hears about outsourcing, it means that a business is going to fire a bunch of people, hire new employees overseas for pennies and pay executives more. Reports of a man who outsourced his own job would typically seem outrageous but one guy really did it.
Male outsourced his own job and it's not from The Onion
When people at the office joke about outsourcing their jobs, they do not mean it traditionally. A traditional company will make a ton of extra money for executives if they fire a lot of people in the country and pay next to nothing in another country to have the same work done.
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 job. As a software creator, he compensated a Chinese business to do everything for pennies.
Cat videos apparently that entertaining
According to NPR, Bob's company hired Verizon to look at its virtual private network security because it saw that it was getting a ton of information from China. Bob was a software creator at the company.
What they eventually found was that Bob, whoever he is, had hired a software consultancy in Shenyang, China, to work on his projects. He was by all accounts, until the discovery, a model employee, one of the very best in the building and holding down a salary of several hundred thousand dollars per year. "His" work was timely and of high-quality.
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 online websites like eBay, Reddit, LinkedIn and Facebook and looking at kitty video clips on YouTube.
Company not happy about this
Bob reportedly outsourced his own job from several 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 yearly salary, according to the BBC. Granted, now he could need some loans to get by if he's blown all his earnings on eBay goodies.
Bob, obviously, has been fired.
