A security check on a US company has reportedly revealed one of its staff was outsourcing his work to China.
The software developer, in his 40s, is thought to have spent his workdays surfing the web, watching cat videos (complete with tail) on YouTube and browsing Reddit and eBay.
He reportedly paid just a fifth of his six-figure salary to a company based in Shenyang to do his job.

For a second there I thought it was Sergei82.

He has the qualifications to be a CEO, should promote him immediately.

Heck mate I KNOW! I kept looking my signature "complete with tail" comment in the article. But yes - the guy has the makings of a great American CEO.

On a side note I think OSOD is a truly brave man (ruling out some less favourable diagnosis). He thinks that all the Russians in Singapore are the mafia (at least for the male part); he says Sergei is Russian; now he also knows how Sergei looks like, yet he keeps teasing him.

On the other hand, nice to know somebody cares about me.

I only care about your Russian bit.... the Ukrainian bit doesn't interest me.

Whatever, don't you think women is healthier area of interest?

They're not mafia, they're prostitutes. Anyway, I'm fine with him already.

Sorry for lots of off topic.

I am tempted. Can't be too bad right ? "No 1 NY Times bestseller and international phenomenon". Imagine all the wifely and motherly duties that I can outsource. More time to spend on beauty regime, sleep and this forum
