Maybe at your company ... But I have seen entire deptartments replace their American engineers with H1Bs ... As a hiring manager I have had times where it has been strongly recommended by higher management to make the interview hiring bar so high for American engineers that no one could pass it and to use a lower bar for H1Bs. I have been a manager were I had to lay off my American engineers only to have their positions filled with foreign replacements. So I don’t know what company you work for (Tata?) But in my rather lengthy and diverse experience it ain’t that way. BTW is your real name is something like Penkat?
