Broken indeed. 22 years ago I had to train my replacement from India. My colleagues and I had been laid off in favor of foreign workers whose H-1B visas were held by a large contracting company, enabling my company to skirt the law regarding the company being unable to find local talent. Today, they don't even try to find local talent, just claim there is non available. The company I landed at after the layoff 22 years ago has also been replacing local with foreign talent due to the cost savings. It's disgusting.
The same scenario is playing out for my 30-year-old and 28-year-old sons who currently work for Big tech corporations. They train in inept underpaid H-1B visa people and then my guys end up doing the job of the H-1B Visa holders because they cannot. They H-1B visa workers get to stay here and my guys will not be able to advance according to their skills.
Yes, that happens too. When we complained that all the newer, more interesting tech work was going to the contractors, we were told we didn't have the skills and management "wanted us to be successful" so we were stuck doing grunt work. The contractors had less experience than we did. Such a slap in the face. Good luck to your sons.
