Meet Bob. Bob was a coder (computer programmer) at a tech company here in the US. At a time when many jobs like Bob's were being Outsourced, Bob figured he could do one better.
Bob found someone in China who could do his job. In effect, he Outsourced himself. He continued to arrive at his company every morning and sat at his desk watching cat videos, browsing eBay, and updating his Facebook. Meanwhile his Chinese replacement did his job. Bob earned a six figure salary and was continuously rated the best programmer at his firm. He paid a fraction of his salary to his Chinese replacement.
In fact, this worked so well that Bob took jobs at other companies, provided they would allow him to work from "home", and hired even more Chinese. It's not clear how many jobs Bob was holding when his plan was uncovered.
But, man! That is certainly a great example of working smart!
Here is proof of the reality of this story:
His downfall was due to security personnel looking into why there was someone from China logging into their VPN (Virtual Private Network) and using Bob's login. Had he been a tad smarter he would have set up his own VPN at his desk and had the Chinese login to that, then from there tunnel into the company's VPN. Bob was nonetheless still very, very smart.
