The last company I worked at outsourced half of the network dept. and most of the datacom dept. to microsoft and oracle on the west coast. The datacom dept was down to 2 people and one moved sideways to IT security and the remaining one was then moved into the network dept.

Now do CEOs...
So your “hot shots” make 100K/yr. How much do you make?
Aren’t you the guy saying raising the minimum wage to 15 bucks would raise the price of a burger a nickel?
Aren't you the guy that says if the minimum wage is increased a dollar then a burger increases a dollar in price, 1:1 ratio? LOL!!!

Amusing...but have you seen this similar incident that was a bit more serious?

So, if you _really_ cared, you could document it or take a video (screen capture, combined with your audio explaining why you are taking each step) while walking through the process. Do it several times, especially when there are exceptions to the normal process - then when you leave they could theoretically hire a contractor.
You have to ask yourself how much you care about the consequences to your co-workers, the company and/or country if you became incapacitated or ill or find a better job. Because one day that’s going to happen.
If you are a Christian keep in mind, “Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself”.

Train yourself to be valuable enough that, if replaced by an H1B, not only will the company rapidly regret their decision but in the meanwhile you’ve been able to find another position. Training yourself with different skill sets is great job security, if you can keep it up!
Then you’ll be in a position to negotiate a promotion in both rank and salary. If necessary, you can also negotiate that they get rid of the person who was not able to recognize your value.
Be professional: just do your job so well that management needs you and your co-workers need you. At least once year, you have act like a salesman and point out to management why you are valuable. The rest of the year, work hard (but note I did not say work long hours) and keep up the learning!
No but I did hear tell that there was a cleaning woman who would open up the mainframe hard drive cover and dust the platters when she cleaned the machine room…
Wow, LOL!!!
How diligent of her!
No, how about we elect real Americans to congress and POTUS that put America first and stop the H-1B madness.
