I agree .. some teams are completely dependent on H1B . Some H1B people got 3 promotions in a year. even though there are good talent of people in the team.

Is Hans on H1B?
Some of the teams has 100% H1B workers
Verizon has been rarely doing H1B in the last three years. It slowed down several years ago. Probably the idea is, when VDSI is there, why get new H1B's? It does sponsor H1B extensions for those who started long time ago. And yes, H1B's get laid off too and we have seen plenty recently! And H1B's who is on Verizon payroll don't come cheap either! Their base pay is publicly available on USCIS site.
I agree that most Indian executives started on H1B but they are now first generation Americans! I understand it is hard to accept them as Americans and easy to stereotype them as 'Kumars' but they have taken the oath and got naturalized! :-)

If you haven't already noticed, more than half of the top executives are Indian, what should that tell you?
I wouldn't be surprised, hb1's replaced the helpdesk back in 2015 when half of the department was let go.
