Job outsourced? Don't get mad, get even
Posted by at 12:26 PM

Here's a new twist to the outsourcing trend: Don't nervously wait around for your job to go overseas, instead outsource your own job and become your own micro, corporate entity.

Says a programmer on Slashdot.org who outsourced his job: "About a year ago I hired a developer in India to do my job. I pay him $12,000 out of the $67,000 I get. He's happy to have the work. I'm happy that I have to work only 90 minutes a day just supervising the code. My employer thinks I'm telecommuting. Now I'm considering getting a second job and doing the same thing."
