Why hold boomer management responsible when silent gen senators and Trump are to blame for allowing h1-B visas in the first place?
Because senators and CEO's will never hold themselves responsible.
Nail a few boomer middle managers with jail time and watch the whistleblowers start coming out of the woodwork everywhere. They wont go to jail to save the CEO if the order comes down to push out flawed code.

tl;dr:
company jumped the shark after the merge
no innovations, just squeezing out the last nickel of the (former) good reputation
outsource everything
cheap workers drink, smoke weed etc. during work, say they won't fly themselves with the crap they're duct taping together
"Hey, Jim. We need new software for the 737's autopilot."
"That's not in the budget, Bill. You know about the layoffs."
"Yeah, but we do need something by next month. Where are we going to find highly skilled computer programmers – who totally didn't fake their engineering degrees to make white people money – on such short notice?!?!?"
Some simple facts about highly-skilled workers from the 3rd world. This is not opinion. These are facts.

The H-1B guest worker visa program was started in 1990 with an annual cap of 65,000 visas.
The L-1 visa program was started in the 1970s and was designed for intracompany transfers only. It has since been abused to bring in foreign nationals for services companies and then place them at their clients - which is illegal.
From 1978 to 1998 - including the 90's boom - the demographic in the IT industry was 98% white American males. The U.S. economy was booming in 1998.
In late 1998, India (and the rest of the world) sat up and took notice of the huge amount of wealth America's tech workers were generating. India decided they wanted to take over what Americans had created and get the $ for themselves. But how? Answer: Public Relations of course! So India's IT lobby, NASSCOM, hired D.C. PR/lobbying firm Hill & Knowlton to plant fake "worker shortage" stories in the U.S. media in 1998. While most Americans were busy enjoying the fruits of their labors, India was plotting how to invade and take over America. This barrage of news alleging a worker shortage story was the vehicle by which India, Inc. convinced America to permit the next step:
In late 1998 and early 2000, the H-1B visa caps were raised from 65,000 a year to 115,000 per year and 195,00 per year, respectively. Then-president Bill Clinton - not George Bush - signed the increases. Tech workers from India didn't begin arriving in the U.S. in large numbers until late 1998. How could they have created the 90's tech boom when they weren't even here? The tech boom was created by Americans. Now that Americans have been driven out by the imported workers, the Silicon Valley and U.S. economies are a disaster.
As a result of the 1998 & 2000 increases, 1.1 million foreign guest workers came into the U.S. from October 1998 to October 2003. According to the U.S. Dept. of Labor, 90% of those H-1B visas went to people from India. These people promptly took over America's tech jobs and drove Americans out of them.
A unknown number more came in during the same time period on the L-1 intracompany transfer visa, which has been heavily abused by Indian outsourcing companies such as Wipro, InfoSys, and Tata. The number of L-1s who came in from 1998-2003 is at least 1 million, maybe 2 million.
There is no yearly cap on L-1 visas.
The H-1B visa cap reverted back to 65,000 per year in Oct. 2003. Despite this, over a million foreign guest workers continue to come into the U.S. every single year - even during periods of record unemployment, such as today.
