Please report anything out of the ordinary:

- Reshuffling of people between units/departments
- Clues that you are being targeted
- Changes in you supervisor behavior

etc..

The wheels are in motion. Someone said RIF training for supervisors starts May 6th.

For the third day in a row I have been told the grand total to go out the gate by Sept 29th is 835 + 50 a month in between. That would be 535 FTE's and 300 contract and flex term employees. I suspect there will be more FTE's than 535 since we we've been told that management can in fact keep a Term employee over an FTE even if the SKA's are the same. It's now a matter of WHO THEY want to keep, not anything else even if it's in the PPM section K. All bets are off and it looks like the flood gates are open. We are all AT WILL employees. Thanks NNSA / DOE for NOTHING. May the axing begin.

Strong rumors have been told that the "Iron Cross Trailers" will be where the detention camp for exiting 200's will housed! But FR suggested they would be offsite with badges pulled and computers to use?? Sounds like the Davis Center would be a likely choice! Anyone heard anything??

Moved from the suggested topics post:

safety:

Have you been ask to do jobs out of your classification??
example: wiring up control paneles or runnin conduit to power boxes to save money because your program is broke.

security issues:
razor blade in tolet seat, vandelism at NIF; elevator boot sliced open with knife, employees pissing on floors or craping on floors, grafitti on walls in NIF
white powder found in bag at west gate office.
security gate at vasco east ave bus turn around area opened on its own.

since LLNS took over safety and security have gone out the door!!!

The detention center is offsite close to the freeway (down Greenville).Management is very worried that people will leave viruses on their computers that will launch after they have left. Sup.'s are being trained right now to handle the removal of those who have been laid off.

I had heard that the 200 series with over 10 years of service would be housed in the grapevine shopping center off of Greenville Road, near the Harley Davidson shop by the freeway. I don't think any final decisions have been made.

A practical suggestion: Since about one in every six persons of the target group, and higher in some directorates, will be selected and sped through the separation checkout process; So, everyone, this could be you. Prepare BEFORE the last day. Update your resume, your list of publications and products showing off your skills. Take home copies of your publications (the internal Library web site has a much more thorough inventory than the external LLNL library site). Take home a copy of your paycheck stub (need access to LAPIS for that). I am guessing they will give you some time to pack your personal books and plants, but not access to your work computer (just guessing; George, correct me if I am wrong).

Thats correct, for the flexs last time , when they came in in the morning they couldnt log in, thats how most figured it out. Also heard today that SPSE did some dealing and got the 15 crafts workers down to 11??

Hey May 1 7:30pm
I am glad to hear SPSE is fighting to save our skilled crafts people from this May layoff. Our IAP and flex term skilled crafts and our Laborers, Custodians, Gardeners, etc. got whacked very bad in the last layoff. Some of our crafts ( including career crafts ) have quit LLNL due to all the stress, lack of job security, etc.
LLNL can not afford to loose any more of our Plant Engineering crafts workers.

News Flash!!

Sunshine Building being prepared for up to 20 computer work stations. Sounds like we are dividing different divisions???

That's most likely being set up for the 200 series employees to job hunt from. It's considered off-site.

But yes - they can, and some are dividing up divisions for the big ax. Especially if they use more than one payroll acct. number; which is what some of the "units" are comprised of.

But wait a minute. Weren't you told, "You will never know your work unit nor will you know where you are ranked in that work unit until you've get your pink slip in hand." If that's the case how would ULM know what four digit class of employees are going to what buildings and where or how many computers are needed? Did you know they're going to get those computer from the people who're being axed not salvage. So tell me, do you think they haven't a clue until ax day who's going out the door and when. What scares me is this. They came by and inventoried my PC and printer, where I hear if I get to stay for this round I'll have to justify having my own printer. I was waiting on the device to print out a lottery number for me to post where I wish with instructions that said, please watch CCN Live on 5/19/08 to see if you're a winner. Some people still have faith. I have none.

Plutonium Shots on NIF.

By scooby
Tri-Valley Cares needs to be on this if they aren't already. We need to make sure that NNSA and LLNL does not make good on promises to pursue such stupid ideas as doing Plutonium experiments on NIF. The stupidity arises from the fact that a huge population is placed at risk in the short and long term. Why do this kind of experiment in a heavily populated area? Only a moron would push that kind of imbecile area. Do it somewhere else in the god forsaken hills of Los Alamos. Why should the communities in the Bay Area be subjected to such increased risk just because the lab's NIF has failed twice and is trying the Hail Mary pass of doing an SNM experiment just to justify their existence? Those Laser EoS techniques and the people analyzing the raw data are all just BAD anyways. You know what comes next after they do the experiment. They'll figure out that they need larger samples. More risk for the local population. Stop this imbecilic pursuit. They wan...

Trump is to gut the labs.

By scooby
The budget has a 20% decrease to DOE office of science, 20% cut to NIH. NASA also gets a cut. This will  have a huge negative effect on the lab. Crazy, juts crazy. He also wants to cut NEA and PBS, this may not seem like  a big deal but they get very little money and do great things.

LLNL un-diversity

By scooby
Actual post from Dec. 15 from one of the streams. This is a real topic. As far as promoting women and minorities even if their qualifications are not as good as the white male scientists, I am all for it. We need diversity at the lab and if that is what it takes, so be it.  Quit your whining. Look around the lab, what do you see? White male geezers. How many African Americans do you see at the lab? Virtually none. LLNL is one of the MOST undiverse places you will see. Face it folks, LLNL is an institution of white male privilege and they don't want to give up their privileged positions. California, a state of majority Hispanics has the "crown jewel" LLNL nestled in the middle of it with very FEW Hispanics at all!
