Outsourcing Your Own Job
June 27, 2007
From Wired:
A pseudonymous poster wrote, “About a year ago I hired a developer in India to do my job. I pay him $12,000 to do the job I get paid $67,000 for. He’s happy to have the work. I’m happy that I only have to work 90 minutes a day, talking code. My employer thinks I’m telecommuting. Now I’m considering getting a second job and doing the same thing.”
What a wonderful idea. Until the boss finds out.
But this does raise an interesting point I hope to write about in the next dispatch: Reimagining the Company.
