A security check on a US company has reportedly revealed one of its staff was outsourcing his work to China. The software developer, in his 40s, is thought to have spent his workdays surfing the web, watching cat videos on YouTube and browsing Reddit and eBay. He reportedly paid just a fifth of his six-figure salary to a company based in Shenyang to do his job.


I wonder how many GFY designers/programmers do the same.

"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."

It sounds like a plan to me - Everyone it seems was happy with the deal.

He was getting more work so the Chinese were obviously doing a fair job...

How do I sign up?

work smart not hard

Damn, that's the phrase I was looking for....

lol touché!!!!

Normally I would say this is pretty wrong just from an ethical point of view, but I would do it as long as I had something productive to do on the sly.
