Employee-Driven Outsourcing

This is precious: Gene Healy spots a Times of India story from last month reporting that some programmers are now outsourcing their own jobs to Indian programmers at a fraction of the cost. They can work four jobs putting in only a few supervisory hours and pocket the bulk of four paychecks. I await the loud denunciations of Benedict Arnold workers betraying themselves.

Addendum: Given how thinly sourced the story itself is, I should probably add that this might well be bogus—it has a whiff of "too funny to be true" about it.
