Several hundred thousand dollars a year to watch cat video for two and a half hours a day? I think I’d want a raise.

Why didn’t he deal with china on his home computer and then just submit the work. That was his mistake. Ill bet the guy was cleaning fish on his desk (office space reference)

Clever, but I’d rather do the work. Less boring.

Sounds like the movie Outsourced. The protagonist goes to another town to try and order a cheeseburger, and another American takes some pit on him and tells him a couple of things:

“It’s India, you just have to go along with it.”

“INDIA. You know what that means? I’ll Never Do It Again.” The guy is on his fourth trip.

Lastly, “Did you hear about the guy who outsourced himself? Yeah, he quit one company and convinced his new boss to let him work from home. He worked about four hours a week correcting and was enjoying it so much he went to work for another company doing the same thing.”

inventive employee the fictitious name of "Bob,"

Ummm... His first name wouldn't be 'Microsoft' would it... ;-)

You know - 'Microsoft Bob'... For those of you old enough to remember that famous piece of software... ;-)

Giving them VPN access to his company’s network without permission is probably a crime.
