Usually, when one hears about outsourcing, it denotes that a company is going to fire a variety of people, hire brand new employees overseas for pennies and pay executives more. Reports of a man who outsourced his own career would normally seem outrageous but one guy really did it.

Getting their job outsourced

When people at the office joke about outsourcing their jobs, they do not mean it traditionally. A traditional business will make a ton of additional cash for executives if they fire a variety of people in the country and pay next to nothing in another country to have the same work done.

According to the BBC, there is one man who has decided to outsource his own job, and it is not a joke. People talk about outsourcing their jobs by paying overseas workers to do it for them.

The man's identity isn't really known - he's being called "Bob" in the media - but he outsourced his own career, paying a Chinese company to do his own work as a software developer.

People want to see video clips of cats

Bob worked at a company as a software developer. The company 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 company was considered timely and of high-quality, making him a model employee at the business. He was making hundreds of thousands of dollars a year at his career until he had been found. The company figured out that he hired a software consultancy firm in China to do the work.

During work hours, Bob was surfing the internet, looking at cat video clips and purchasing things on EBay. Verizon discovered Chinese contractors logged in when he was at work. He used an RSA token, according to PC Magazine.

Business not happy about it

Bob might need some loans to get by now that anything is said and done. He was paying about $50,000 a year for the work, which was less than 20 percent of his annual salary. He used many companies evidently.

Bob, needless to say, has been terminated.
