The whole point of H-1b is to bring qualified people in because there are not enough citizens that are qualified to do the work. When they use it as a way to bring cheaper people in an lay off qualified citizens, they are completely violating the spirit of why it exists in the first place.

I have a co-worker in another state that suffered the indignity of being forced to train her replacement on pain of being terminated no severance pay if she failed to comply. I'm less concerned about that happening to me. The nature of my job is complex troubleshooting when the best and brightest can't figure it out. It's not steady work. It arrives in the form of unpredictable crises. I have to track down "filler" between crises.
