This is actually happening in the company i work in, apparently we are an accounting firm and pretty much most of our clients are oversees since they pay a lot more than the actual locals. They pretty much give us ludicrous amount of accounting work that would take hours and sometimes even nightshifts to process but thankfully we managed to automate the whole thing reducing the workload in less than half an hour while still being paid a few months worth of salary, based on my country's standard, per clients.
I remember automating my own job years ago and getting fired for it. I’d actually taken on way work than they’d originally hired me for. But, it didn’t “look” like I was working. They ended up hiring 3 people to do my job and one of them quit in like 2 months because his portion of my job was “too much work”.

He outsourced all his work from Indiana, and just checked it over before turning it in. It's a little more expensive than they make it seem in the video, but still well worth it.
So a company in the US has outsourced their jobs to us in Jamaica paying us under 3 usd an hour. I have outsourced all my work to Pradeep in India and I pay him 1 cent per day. I know I am paying too much, but he deserves it, he works really well.
I'm not going to lie, when he concluded that the world's poorest man, Ahmed Khalili of Afghanistan, would be doing 80% of the world's work, I laughed like crazy
Years ago I laughed this off as a joke, but it wasn't until I became an operations manager that I realized it's not that unrealistic. I found a firm in India that was willing to do my systems maintenance and accounting work because the average income for their division is a fraction of my team's salary. To ensure the work is not just half-assed junk, I found an actuarial and auditing firm in China that would double-check their processes and numbers and reformat it for marketing, again because they were getting paid a fraction of what my team makes. I ended up doing about 3-4 hours of work every week to triple check their final submission and integrate it into my systems and was paid (and raised) at a normal growth rate. I have since started my own company that basically partners with overseas businesses looking for work at higher pay and market them to clients in this country looking to outsource. The system does the work for me once the algorithm and backup liaisons match companies together. I essentially make 6-7 figures (depending on total partnerships and clients) doing practically nothing. Strayed a bit from the concept of this video but still lol

Fun fact - You can outsource somebody to do all your undergraduate, masters and even PhD studies. You can hire actual PhD holders in Kenya and some other countries.

It's already been true for thousands of years, ever since someone had the brilliant idea of making others do their work for them and keeping the profits.
@@theyoshi202 While it may not be criminal in most cases, when you work at most jobs you have what's called "at-will employment". It means that you and the company entered a contract that the company can terminate at any point for any (legal) reason. When you buy something at a store, that is a form of contract. The Facebook TOS reads like a contract as well. A contract includes: an offer, consideration, and acceptance. Consideration is the tricky one. It is something of value that each side expects to give up as their end of the contract. So, a company that hires you can reasonably expect that you will not share proprietary information, such as trade secrets, interal processes, and internal financial information. When you subcontract your own job, you are breaching this part of the contract. Not only can you be fired, it may bring litigation on your ass- especially if your work involves handling a client's sensitive information. Secretly subcontracting your own duties can also be fraudulent (criminal) for a number of reasons, especially the tax implications (including for your personal taxes, the organizations FICA tax liability, Obamacare, etc.) It's obviously a bad idea, but it can be reeeeally bad. Basically, you can be fired on the spot, potentially sued, and possibly even be prosecuted for fraud depending on what you did. There is civil law and criminal law. Breach of contract is civil.
