man outsources his own job to china

[Tiger Uppercut]

Wasn't this the subject of that Tim Ferriss self help book 4 hour work week?

pretty much.

i skimmed through it last week, but it was basically, find something your passionate about, think of a way to make money doing it.....then outsource it to somebody in Asia for 1/5 of your salary. You would spend about 4 hours a week touching base and reviewing the Asians..uh your work, then you'll have the rest of the week to ball out.

Tempting, but obviously risky.

How long did this guy get away with it???

Well I'd not seen it before, so thank you for posting. Great story.

my pleasure!

I broke down his idea piece by piece to figure out how he got caught, and the results were amusing.
- His original plan = Very smart
- Not knowing the full details about con artists in the job market = not very smart.

He posted a job position and didn't realize that some of the people working for him lied on their resumes.

I'm just trying to bring back the old "use the search function!" attitude. I read that some people were complaining. :icon_lol:

I still find it an inspiring story.

i was just about to use the "theres no search function anymore" excuse but i've just realised its back. :icon_sad:

This has made my day. LOL.

While i agree its hilarious and awesome, if your stuck there anyways why not do the work yourself?

 

[the ax murderer]

yeah he got fired

To be expected really, hopefully he now has a career in inspirational speeches.
