Fact or Fiction

Fact or Fiction: It looks like the next dose of sequestration will be going through on Jan 1st, so prepare for even more cut-backs and head count reductions at all the labs for FY2014 and probably every year thereafter. You might want to "spend you day" polishing up your resumes and search the job ads.

Fact! Medical insurance up. Raises poor. Furloughs. Layoffs. Loss of young staff. Terrible morale. Unneeded 7% salary reductions for an overfunded plan that NNSA reneged on contributing to.

You people are getting so screwed and have been for at least three to four years, that is the blue collar. The white collars been getting their big raises and bonus checks all along. Have some balls and do what BART did and now the Port of Oakland truckers are doing.

Yes and everyone hates the Bart union because they are a bunch of high school dropouts.
Look at UPTE it is protecting workers who should be fired for talking back to managers. But they would have you believe something different.

Guy down the hall is quitting after about 25 years at the lab. Might be he has the right idea, bail out and beat the rush out the door, voluntary or involuntary.

Let it end in peace! Turn off the lights, close the door and now face what thou has rought. Now those who where blinded by prosperity will soon loose all they stole. Within five years hunger will be what they profess to end because it will be them who hunger. The promises made in the past will not be kept and they will ask why but no answer will come. They will be in the middle of streets asking who is at fault? who caused such pain? For I will be the one to show them. I will be the one with mirror to show it was you it was you.

Yikes! Messiah complex much? Please get help. Ask your mother to read your post and then ask her if she thinks you are sane.

The incessant down-sizing of the NNSA labs is not finished, not by a long shot. Unfortunately, more pain is still to come before a meta-stable state is reached.

Yep, and BART and The Port of Oakland employees are laughing at you gutless swines all the way to the bank. better pay, guaranteed pay raises and cheaper medical cost while your medical cost are going up or did you not notice, you paycheck is going down, your pension is going bye-bye and you get to be stressed out to the max everyday wondering if you're next. Yep, real stupid high school drop-outs.

Lets hope they offer it and all those who missed the boat the last time get on an leave before that hell hole LLNL takes you down. Good thing all those people in the home were deaf, the song sucked. BART and the Port of Oakland people are still kicking you LLNL and LANL employees asses on all points.

I wasn't aware that someone had a problem with the UPTE folks. What's the story behind that?

Plutonium Shots on NIF.

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.

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

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!
