On Thursday 2-18-21 as a "Pro Se" (self representing) plaintiff, I filed my Opening Brief in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in case # 20-16012, "Anthony T. Rivera v. U.S. Department of Energy". Please note, that as early as October 2013, my request to LLNS was to simply reacquire my former LLNS job title with a comparable assignment, and to be made whole.
As my 35 page Opening Brief to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals details, there was simply no incentive whatsoever, for LLNS to consider such an informal resolution given the financial support of the DOE/NNSA and poorly defined DOE OHA whistleblower definitions. I remain hopeful that the Biden/Harris Administration will view my situation differently than the last Administration.
Take Care, Anthony Rivera

The consistent tactic for LLNS, LANS, and TRIAD is to defame, destroy, and discard employees who take notice of any deficiencies whatsoever in their management practices. That practice creates a two-tiered system that serves their tier extremely well as they are paid enormous sums of money to mismanage the labs at taxpayer expense with almost no genuine accountability.

Not so impressive from a contractor like the for-profit LLNS that since 2007, has been reimbursed by the DOE/NNSA over 24 million tax payer dollars for their self-inflicted legal expenses to defend themselves from unjust actions against LLNS employees. Nice attempt at a pivot through an unrelatable 3rd grade Google quote, for a serious DOE Complex wide problem.

I don't disagree, but here is famous quote that gets to the root of DOE contractor employee concerns regarding DOE contractor wrongdoing:

You take yourself way too seriously. Sort of an epidemic these days.
One must wonder what low level criteria is in play for LLNS Staff Relations attorney hires, given LLNS can count on DOE/NNSA taxpayer funded outside attorneys to cover LLNS internal unsupportable legal errors?
I would expect material prime contract and annual performance evaluation review fee changes if indeed, Rivera has identified weak spots.
