I read this article<\/a> this morning and darn near blew coffee out my nose.<\/p>\n

http:\/\/gu.com\/p\/3d674<\/a><\/p>\n

The gist of the piece is that a programmer decided to outsource then manage the outsourcing of his own job to China. <\/p>\n

He went to work every day, surfed the net, updated his Facebook, watched cat videos and wrote a daily progress report for his boss.<\/p>\n

All the while the actual programming was being done by a Chinese programer for 1\/5 the salary the programmer was making.<\/p>\n

This programmer even managed to take on programming jobs at other companies and was making a ton of money.<\/p>\n

He was ultimately fired from his position but only because a network audit uncovered his “misuse” of the corporate network. (Facebook, twitter, cat videos)<\/p>\n

The funny thing is that the guy was apparently considered one of the better employees and programmers at his company.<\/p>\n

The article mentions that had this guys job title been different he’d have probably gotten a bonus. <\/p>\n

I think the guy was creative and clever, but he missed his calling.<\/p>\n

He should open a consulting firm specializing in offshore project management. I’ll bet he could make a fortune.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
