He found a high-quality and affordable resource. I would have given him a bonus.
Yep, and Verizon hasn't revealed what kind of action they took. They probably promoted him to an upper-level management position, which will be followed by numerous layoffs of current software personnel in favor of using the Chinese team for literally "a fifth" of the cost. Bob will be the company liason.
He's just a straight shooter with upper management written all over him.
A typical work day for Bob looked like this:9:00 a.m. Arrive and surf Reddit for a couple of hours. Watch cat videos11:30 a.m. Take lunch1:00 p.m. Ebay time.2:00 ish p.m Facebook updates LinkedIn4:30 p.m. End of day update e-mail to management.5:00 p.m. Go home
Verizon notes that Bob had excellent performance reviews and was considered the best developer in the building.
well... clever in one way.... but pretty short term thinking. even if he got away with it. you won't be improving skills and advancing at your career letting someone else do it for you!
dude was smart, not a genius. Sure have VPN to his home or something.
I think the fact that he clocked in at 9am and left at 5pm working in the software industry would've been the easy red flag.
