Suggested poll... Look for it in this page.
Money is tight and NIF is EBAing people, assigning them new jobs and working those that are left twice as hard. I think it’s time for NNSA to step in and do what is right.
I think it’s time to run a poll with multiple choices. The question would be something like.
What incentive if offered by NNSA would most likely guarantee your departure before Oct 1st, 2013? If possible allow them to identify themselves by age.
1) One weeks pay for every year of service
2) Two weeks pay for every year of servive
3) Seperation check equal to two years wages
4) One years wages tax free into your 401k or 403b

5) Wage reduction of 20% with compensating days off.
Go back to sleep.
You know this kind of open-ended question is just going to generate dozens of stupid/ignorant/nasty/slimy/inflammatory posts in reply. Why bother? What is your agenda? Why not actually put some thought into it and come up with a good proposal to debate?
Look, give up the "I want a VSIP" rant. It's pathetic. It ain't gonna happen.
Weren't you paying attention back around '09 when the lab changed the layoff policy such that the payout for a RIF went down? The RIF policy now costs the Lab less than any of the historical VSIPs would.
They would be stupid to pay more for a VSIP (that is out of management control and strips out smart older employees) when they can RIF deadwood instead.
Let. It. Go.

The point of the VSIP would be to let go ALL the smart older employees, that's what they want it. Fresh blood, new ideas, 50% cheaper. I say get-r-done. I know many of a smart old employee who if they offered a VSIP will be gone I a flash and I mean fast, especially if it's two weeks pay for every year of service.
Lose the "smart old employees", lose the capability. No one who has never designed, executed, or analyzed a nuclear test should be allowed to work on nuclear weapons. Too risky for the country.sraearl
You are laboring under the illusion that Lab management cares.

You are laboring under the illusion that management indifference justifies indifference on the part of the people who actually protect our national security - the employees who do the work. What, you didn't know you actually had some responsibility for that??
Layoffs are ongoing, and being managed at a rate to stay below the WARN act threshold. If we ever have to cross that threshold, a VSIP makes sense. The terms of the VSIP would be the same as for (involuntary) RIF. It just allows people to volunteer to be laid off. It'll look good, and cost the same as RIFs. Why not?
Why not?

Because it would be absolutely stupid from a management standpoint. RIFs clean out the people you don't want. VSIPs clean out the people you do want.
