A man secretly outsourced his job to China, played at work including surfing Reddit, and made hundreds of thousands before being caught and fired.

Is this even legal? Has anyone on Jow Forums done this?

The fact that it took so long for him to get caught makes me question the quality of his workplace.

It was Verizon. And he did this to multiple employers.

Soooo olllddd

Companies have been outsourcing jobs for ages, so why can’t he?

Theres literally nothing wrong with this, welcome to capitalism bitch.

Sure, I don't think there's anything wrong with it either.

But is it legal? Can you get sued for doing this?

What a faggot

It's not legal but it's definitely morally right. Anything that highlights the absurdity of technocapitalist society and hastens its demise is a good thing.

Depending on the position and amount of access, it's possible.

I surf reddit all day without having to outsource shit

It was probably very illegal. Unless everything they're working on is open sores he definitely violated a lot of shit in his contract

What are the consequences?

What a nigger

>open sores

That's genius desu.

>subcontracting to one company when you could create a contracting firm and subcontract to thousands
What a small fish.

True, but I'd imagine that there would be more competition involved.

>Is this even legal?

Of course it's illegal you fucking brainlet retard.
Have you ever had a job in your entire life?
Have you ever heard of this thing called work contract?

What are the consequences? Can you be sued or go to jail?

You can get sued, probably for money, but of course it depends on the company and how much perceived damage there was done.
If there was no "damage" whatsoever, they may just fire you and that's it.

What a cnut

What a maroon

My co-workers worked with this guy.
Fucking hilarious that it even happened.
I'd love to work for Verizon though.

Really? Do you know anything that wasn't said in the news articles?

rofl
storytime please

Yeah, a couple guys joined my company around the time the Verizon strikes were going on.
They said that some folk knew about it and they just kept it under wraps, kinda Office Space style. I guess it was more trouble than it was worth to report the dude.
They estimated that he was paying the Chinese guy a couple grand a month.
Sorry if this wasn't as interesting as you might have thought, I'm more of a third degree witness to this whole thing.
