If the work is shoddy, fire him — regardless of why it’s shoddy. If you don’t have the power to fire him, convince the people who do. If you can’t do that — on the basis of shoddy work — then it’s time to recalibrate your definition of shoddy.

actually, I just realized that there are some countries whose work laws do not allow firing on the basis of "shoddy work". but would totally allow firing for outsourcing your own job, on the basis of trust violation, trade secrets access from unauthorized people, and stuff like that.

Out of curiosity, list some of those countries.

Good advice.
