Okay children, listen up. How's 1.5% to distribute, retroactive to Jan 1st, 2010 _NOT_ Oct 1st, 2009, and NO raise cards to be distributed. However on Feb 18th you'll be able to log onto LAPIS and see how much you're worth. LLNS not only made millions of dollars by delaying your raises by three months but they "did you", with one big stroke of the pen. Assuming I got the max of 1.5% it still was not enough to cover my increased cost for medical and state tax. This has been three years in a row so no wonder my disposable income at the end of the month has been diminishing. Do you think LLNS is telling us all a story here?
Still want to give LLNS 100%? -- I DFTS.

LLNS didn't make anything on this - it was done by NNSA.

Sorry - I believe that you believe what you say. However, let me shine a little light your way. It's ALL about bonuses and profit and NOTHING else
I think 4:15PM got it right. First off, this timing was at NNSA's instigation and for instance, Sandians will also not get their raise notification until the new year. (I have no knowledge as to it being retroactive to Oct 1st for them.) Second, the raise "package" is not a distinct packet of funding sent to LLNL. It's just permission from NNSA for the Lab to spend X percent more on salaries as opposed to procurement, facilities, etc. It's not like anything LLNL doesn't spend one way or another, LLNS gets to keep as additional profit. Quite often major programs carry over tens of megabucks across fiscal year boundaries. Those funds do not suddenly gets plopped into a profit bucket. It's still there for the program in the new fiscal year.
Abolish NNSA!
Yeah, 1.5% if you're lucky. In my case that will not cover the medical cost increase, the state tax increase, the cost of gas, food, electric, car registration, and for sure will not cover the new and approved change to come known as national health care which by the way is going to cost you dearly. It will not be free. In my case I would need a 25% (after tax) increase effective immediately to stay afloat. It's bad enough now to where I had to cancel my land line today so I can have enough to pay for the food we'll consume at Christmas..Afterward it's help retain my PBJ brown bag lunch I bring daily. Thanks LLNS and ULM..
I am happy even with no raises. What keeps me going is George cares about me like I was part of his extended family...
Sandia's raises are not retroactive to Oct 1. We got 0.9% avg. Management is structuring non-base and base salary so that nobody has a decrease in total compensation, therefore everyone stays the same.

I now am hearing the 1.5% to all classifications such as 100, 200, 300 and 400 has changed. It seems they're as low as .5% for one classifications and as high as 3.2% for another. Anyone have the real number for each classification so we can see who got boned?
