This country loves to fukk itself.

This is what happens when they try to do stuff cheaper and it saves money temporarily then blows your budget afterwards.....stock manipulation through incompetence

The way they are shipping jobs out of the country, I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often.

It happens even more overseas. But it's easier for companies to cover it up. Regulations are really lax overseas compared to the US.

[O.T.I.S.]

Companies are gonna use this as an excuse to get rid of remote work, but in reality they need to better with confirming potential employees location. These are massive companies with massive budgets. Just to show no matter how much money a company has, most if not all suck at all forms of security.

They cant

They do the same thing when they outsource

What they should do is have a hybrid system… a compromise but that would be too intelligent.

Also, run a fukking proper background and in-person meetings/meetups at least quarterly.

I listened to an episode of the Journal podcast on this happening! Was interesting.

They basically do an online interview, and get the equipment sent to a US address, person at that address hooks the laptop up to a server rack where the 'employee' then logs on to it remotely!

They then use various tools to try and hack or just do their job a little whilst stealing info.
