alt text: 18 of our 40 employees are located in the Philippines. Insanely competent, great judgement, and $5 per hour. If you run a small business and don’t have overseas help you’re at a disadvantage

    Its not a new thing to outsource a job to a different country, but this really sounds like it could become the next drop shipping type of thing that some “bro” has a course for.

    A 2 hour course of offering administration/clerical services, get some business owner on the hook and then repost the job to outsourcing country of choice using google translate to make the job ad, next let the money pour in…

      There was already a software developer that got two contracts with different companies, then “outsourced” his workloads to four guys overseas in secret.

      Iirc he spent a tenth of his salary on paying this people and did nothing but attend meetings, but the output was pretty bad so eventually they found out.
