Offshoring

Offshoring (the responsibility) - finding someone to blame for not doing your work well. Often done by incompetent lowlifes in workplaces that depend on team accountability, like government positions. Could cause someone to fail upward in life, if their boss values a good lack of integrity and morals. Also, a neat exit hatch for a politician when under pressure of journalists.

Boss: Did you ship that urgent and crucial order last month?
Employee: Nah, I couldn't read the handwriting of Janet from sales.
Boss: Nice offshoring there, employee! We're going out of business now, but I will make sure to write a stellar recommendation letter for you.
