Are our benefits going to take a hit with the new M&O contracts for LANL, LLNL, and SNL? Specifically, it seems to DOE is protecting pensioners, but screwing the younger crowd (seed corn) by clarifying that medical benefits can be more easily cut by the M&O to "be inline with market rates".
For example, Honeywell is leading the nation in terms of crappy health benefits. Already, the out of pocket cost to the employee there are $8,000/yr + $550/mo = $14,600/yr. Oh, and if you smoke or have high blood pressure in the annual company exam, they ding you another $2,000. I'm guessing these are the "market rates" that the DOE wants the new M&Os to emulate.

Ok its the weekend again so it is time for the for next round of the pathetic bitter troll to start hating on LANL again. Close down the cowboy cesspool filled with arrogance and culture that will never admit to being wrong! Cowwwbooysss.....ahh. We know the drill.
I'm not sure how they plan to make me stay. I already got a considerably higher paying R&D job offer in a much better location. Plan to give them my two weeks and get out of here in about a month.

Sounds great, there is somewhere out there is desperate for your job, we can pay them less and tell them not to complain and they will not complain. What is the downside?

Of course, such a candidate must be superior to somebody who can get a higher paying, better job somewhere else! Makes perfect sense to the NNSA.
