It comes down to this - they are no longer going to even consider paying you $100K/year to do a job they consider on a par with janitorial services - necessary but not part of the core business.
They might pay an Indian $35K to do it if they can get him over here.
Otherwise, they will simply offshore the work for $10K/year and put up with the communication problems.
In some positions yes but not skilled DBAs responsible for the largest infrastructures in the US at the largest financial firms in the US. Once upon a time the building of homes was considered skilled labor. Sheet rock, roofing, siding, gutters etetcthose homes were built to last several generations with little issue. Now it is imported from Mexico inspected per “code” and lucky that a home lasts more than 60 years anymore. What was once a job a middle income earner could make a living at is now seen as “unskilled” There are many jobs now running this same course because Congress and our laws are falling more in line with corporate interests vs national best interests
