Do they know what they are doing?

Contributed by anonymous:

This is what happens when certain physicists with no business knowledge are in charge. They don't have a vision of how to have a productive balanced business operation. Worst, they surround themselves with their marginally skilled and poorly prepared "cronies" and "yes" people. At least past directors chose to have a variety of competent people around them that spoke their minds, since their personal wealth wasn't dependent on being puppets.

People moderately competent would have known early on what the true additional costs of the new contract would be (only fools or sycophants believed it was only $80Million. Do we really have a business operation that didn't understand taxes and benefit cost changes with an LLC????), or did they just refuse to tell it like it was, since it wasn't what management wanted to hear at the time.

This management "team" will do a good job of looking out for themselves (adding to their personal riches) while they eliminate jobs based on something other than real need, and ruin the lives of many, and the Lab in the process.

But they sure are good at trying to buy the good will of surrounding communities. Of course when those surrounding communities have hundreds more residents without jobs and losing their homes, don"t know 25K is going to make them feel better.

That would be here if you care to read the story. Just remember that $25K is nothing to LLNS-ULM. They have money to spare to make sure they keep their jobs. What would be nice to see is to have the surrounding cities turn on them and request that LLNL be turned back over to UC.

Good question. maybe we should present this to a lawyer. It seesm to be the only way LLNS will respond. You have to when you go to get your disability insurnace. I have a friend who's been out for 4 months and he has yet to see a paycheck from LLNS or from SDI. Welcome to a better way to do business aka LLNS.

Yes what the hell is going on...if our 401K money would be posted on time, when the market was down, we might have made 2% today, but oh no they are going to again blame it on a computer qlitch that i was told was fixed last time??? I talked to a Fidelity Rep a couple of weeks ago and she indicated that by law LLNS actually has 45 days to post our money. I don't know if thats true but something needs to be done??? Does anypne care to make this a top post!!!?
