Title: How to Manage your Work Life Balance

This story really made me chuckle.    Get employed by one firm, then sub-contract your work out to a Chinese firm and so get paid to spend your day surfing and maintain the perception of successful & highly productive employee!   Awesome!

"Further investigation found that the enterprising Bob had actually taken jobs with other firms and had outsourced that work too, netting him hundreds of thousands of dollars in profit as well as lots of time to hang around on internet"


Smart Guy.
