A Show Of Unity
How many people showed up at the cafeteria today at 8:30 to plan a non-violent march?
For those who showed up, can you share (with the rest of us cowards/pragmatists) what transpired?

"How many people showed up at the cafeteria today?"
I was the only one there with the intention of talking about the RIF. I asked a few people if they were there because of the invitation from the BLOG and they said "no".
People are tired and waiting for their pink slips. They just want this over with now, for good. I am sure many know this is coming again next year and another 2000 employees will be out the gate due to budget cuts reducing the head count down to 4000 even. Someone like myself wish ULM would just cut the 50% on the 22nd of this month and be done with it. How people can continue to work in this type of environment safely and effectively is beyond me. I know there's people who say, "the lab isn't dead", but I surely don't see any promise in it's future existence.
Please let me know when the next gathering is at the cafeteria (date/time). I will help show unity. Can the date/time be posted on the home page of the blog? Thanks!
Sure, if someone told scooby I'll bet it would show right up at the top however if you've been watching only about 200 or so people actually read this blog and participate. That's 200 out of 6,500 people. Not a good turn out on the blog nether.

I don't think there are enough llnl employees reading this blog. A good turnout at the cafeteria would require a larger readership.
