Software developer 'outsources his own job to China'

A US software developer has reportedly outsourced his job to China for a fifth of his salary.

The staff member – who was allegedly paying the company in China one-fifth of his six-figure salary to do his own job for him, while he was checking out videos on YouTube and generally surfing the web during the working day – was only rumbled after Verizon carried out an audit on his company, BBC News reports.
