Software developer fired after bosses learn he outsourced his work to China
2013-01-17
Began day by looking at cat videos and Reddit for two hours
Took 90-minute lunch breaks
Also wasted time on eBay, Facebook and LinkedIn
Paid Chinese consulting firm $50,000 to do his work for him
Was praised for being 'the best developer in the building' and was described as 'Someone you wouldnÂ’t look at twice in an elevator'

#1  I'm a bit skeptical - because this story almost exactly parallels a set piece that was put out by the Onion, several years ago: http://www.theonion.com/video/more-american-workers-outsourcing-own-jobs-oversea,14329/ (Make sure you hit "Skip" in upper right corner off the video box, to avoid unrelated content)
