Half the jobs the H1B guys in IT are doing is SAP Auth work, SysAdmin stuff, Java work, Data Center Monkey, QC work, etc... It's work NO ONE wants to pay for because it's not a profit center in most companies, it's an expense. 70% of IT doesn't generate profit, it just enables.This is the mid-grade work in most instances that keeps the light's on, or merely "enables" the money markers. These are the exact sort of jobs you want available when you shut down industries and "re-train the workforace for the modern era". These are the exact sort of jobs that get you a tenured, skilled, able to deal with AI and whatever comes next kind of workforce.

How about postpone the project till 2nd half of the FY, and spend half that $100k H1B fee developing and training a current employee, then bumping them up, and promoting the next guy, and so on until you get a new entry level guy joining to ride the ladder? Remember when that was a thing?

But that's expense, so... No.
