My company hired one dude who was an H-1B as a "data analyst" for our marketing department. First thing the dude did was demand a computer that was twice the specs of anything we normally prep for anyone. He then proceeded to get two of his buddies hired on in similar positions with similar demands. All of them made general nuisances of themselves to the IT department with increasingly demanding requests for software and resources, all while producing somewhere between "jack" and "shit" for their total appreciable output.

They basically got away with doing fuck-all for a couple years while they were supposedly developing a "database" for our marketing execs. All three were eventually shit-canned this past year. We went over their computers with a fine-toothed comb and - surprise, surprise - there wasn't a trace of any sort of database there. Nor was there anything on the SQL server we had stood up for them. The most we found was a handful of spreadsheets that were stashed in the folders they created on the marketing team's file space, containing data that could have been pulled from the sources with a couple quick queries in an afternoon.

They amounted to little more than a drain on the resources of the marketing department and the company as a whole, all while making pests of themselves for the entire time they were employed. And people wonder why the hell there's hate for Indian dudes who get hired in and hold the door open for their buddies.
