So, if the government shuts down, what are the plans for LLNL? Please no wise-crack comments, just trying to hear what the plan is for after April 8. Do all but the security forces stay home (if the government shuts down)?

Nothing will happen at LLNL.
LLNL is funded by the government but is not part of the government. Salaries are paid by LLNS not DOE/NNSA. If the shutdown only last a few days or a week, there will be no impact on LLNL. Remember in the 1990s when the government shutdown, UC covered the operating cost at its labs (LANL, LLNL, and LBNL). UC had just received a major payment for lab operations and used that money for the labs. I suspect LLNS partners (aka Bechtel) will not want to cover the lab for long from mgmt fee dollars.
LLNL Managers have already created a list of "essential personnel". If you are not on this list Managers will contact you on Monday (assuming a Government shutdown) and inform you if you need to report to work as an essential worker or stay home on leave without pay.

Apparently your information is false, given the Miller memo posted in the "new topics" section.
Maybe that one time bonus will come in handy.
1:52, just curious where you obtained your info? I'm guessing you fabricated it to stir things up, which is why I only believe half of what I read here... (if that)
1:52 is partially correct. It depends on how long the shutdown lasts and how long (and how much) LANS/LLNS is willing tn "fund" employees on "reserves" while the government is shutdown. I can assure you that at some point LLNS/LANS will identify those essential workers as funds dwindle. In fact, LANS already identified those essential workers during the last "snow day" when ONLY essential personnel worked that day. So the concept of "essential workers" has already been exercised.
Today's newspaper said that congress has sent their proposals to the senate and the senate is NOT going to pass it. I guess failure is all we have left. Thanks to Obama and this followers
Blame everything on President Obama!
Blame the party of "no" instead!
Blame the party of "no" instead!

The Democrats have been saying "No!" ever since the Republicans took over the House. How is that different??
