University Coursework Consultant

A recent Slashdot calls for a new title:

"Students studying computing in the UK and US are outsourcing their university coursework to graduates in India and Romania. Work is being contracted out for as little as £5 on contract coding websites usually used by businesses. Students are outsourcing everything from simple coursework to full blown final year dissertations. It's causing a major headache for lecturers who say it is almost impossible to detect."

Chief Fun Officer

Usually after a while my niece says "adults are no fun" and similarly an Indian company thought that working is no fun -- enter the Chief Fun Officer or CFO. From the article:

"The CFO will be charge of all the fun and will not have to rack his brains with the usual pressures of the outsourcing industry. He has been entrusted with the responsibility of keeping employees happy. He will also be in charge of organizing office parties.[...]

The Chief Fun Officer will also be in charge of organizing weekend outings for the employees. The basic task of the CFO will be to keep the employees happy. During the week he will have to organize games and short parties for the staff. The idea is to provide frazzled employees with stress-busters. The fun includes dancing, singing, various competitions and games, et cetera."

Sounds like a fun job and hopefully a fun place to work -- if work is no fun anymore our CFO will get parachuted and replaced with a new CFO -- let the fun begin
