Just wait until the outsourcee finds out how much they could make if they bypassed the outsourcer and worked with the employer directly.

If a CEO did such a thing that resulted in the layoff of US workers, he'd receive a fat bonus and be featured prominently in the Wall St. Journal.

Me too. I wish I could outsource my work. I would have a ton of free time to get more important things done.

If his work was that easy to outsource, he didn't have a long-term future. Somewhere, somehow his boss would have figured it out, too!

The question I have for you - other than the security issue, did he break any rules? I mean, he wasn't caught underperforming as far as I can tell!
