Excerpts:

• Because outsourcing can transfer jobs from the workplace to a foreign, remote location, a lot of people believe it destroys employment opportunities. While that’s not always true, it isn’t exactly incorrect either. (page 42)
• Common law workers are typical employees. They travel to a designated workplace, they perform a specific job at the designated workplace, and then they work for a specific amount of time for a specific amount of pay.
  RentACoder (vWorker) contractors don’t do that. (page 54)
• To our surprise, RentACoder (vWorker) isn’t a staple resource within every working environment even though its potential to become one is simply huge. And it’s for that reason, this part of the book assists those who want to bring RentACoder (vWorker) into the workplace. (page 111)
• As previously discussed in “Criticisms of Outsourcing,” you may not get the support you need or want from everyone in the workplace.
  In fact, you may get just the opposite manifested in the form of decreased productivity and an overall diminished work morale. This is to be expected and it’s normal. It’s also fear-based. (page 134)
• Like with any timecard found in the traditional workplace, a coder uses the Timecard Desktop Application to punch in and punch out, while the software captures periodic images of the coder’s webcam and computer desktop.
  The coder’s buyer then views resulting images to verify the coder is really working on a contracted project. (page 280)
