So I read the aforementioned article today and I immediately
recalled a famous book by Tim Ferris, which provided private outsourcing as a
way to reduce the amount of time that you work. I thought that the book was
thought provoking at the time that I have read it, but I was skeptical to say
the least about the real life application of those principles.
I think that legally speaking the company may have a case
against this worker, if they can prove damages. That is going to be difficult
to do, seems like more investigation would certainly have to be done to achieve
that. What’s interesting however is – “Amazingly, the developer received
glowing performance reviews from human resources while pulling his outsourcing
scam”. That must be an interesting
company where the direct supervisor does not do performance review. Human
Resources can assess past behavior and complaints, if they are forced to review
performance, if someone has more free time to contribute to the social aspect
of the job, as this article suggests, then I think the review would be good and
there shouldn’t be anything amazing about it.
Anyways I wonder what would Tim Ferris say about this event.
