Plainly stated, the VPN logs showed him logged in from China, yet the employee is right there, sitting at his desk, staring into his monitor.

Quote:
As it turns out, Bob had simply outsourced his own job to a Chinese consulting firm. Bob spent less that one fifth of his six-figure salary for a Chinese firm to do his job for him. Authentication was no problem, he physically FedExed his RSA token to China so that the third-party contractor could log-in under his credentials during the workday.

Quote:
Evidence even suggested he had the same scam going across multiple companies in the area.

Quote:
His code was clean, well written, and submitted in a timely fashion. Quarter after quarter, his performance review noted him as the best developer in the building.


Legend.

Yep. Turns out he's not the best developer in the building, but he's a fucking good outsourcing manager.

That's amazing, legend indeed. :D

(Ironic that it's okay for companies themselves to do this, but not individuals)

I can't believe they sacked him (I can believe they sacked him).

He was so efficient, he was taking on freelance work and outsourcing it to the same Chinese guys...which probably more than covered the amount he was paying the Chinese on the original outsourced job.

If he was my employee, I'd have to fire him for sending his security dongle to FUCKING CHINA.

But if he hadn't done that, I think I'd keep him on. After all, the work's getting done.

50% pay cut, obv.

He was also:

- Massively breaching policies
- Creating enormous security risk, and
- Probably fictitious, as the sole of info AFAIK is Verizon, encouraging people to spend money on Verizon audits and shit.

Nooo, you'd pay him 100% but make him outsource twice the work.
