LLNS may have excluded the wrong people in last VSSOP? The exclusions were based on outdated job categories and related skills. ULM are now thinking that in the future, job categories and functional areas will have to be re-defined. The next VSSOP/ISP will be based on the new categories and functional areas. The questions I have are: 1) Why didnt they think of that before the transition. It seems like their style is “change things as you go”. Planning is out the window! 2) Who will give input on the new changes? The next RIF apparently is going to be more lucrative than the VSSOP. Depending on the length of employment, a RIFed person, not only gets their 1 week pay per year of service but also from 30 to 120 days notice, essentially 30 to 120 days pay. Please feel free to comment on the rumors or add new ones you actually heard.

I can feel the gnashing of teeth at Bechtel headquarters over this. LANL was nothing but crazy uncontrolled cowboys that even Bechtel could not beat into submission and that TRIAD would be utter disaster and be out after 3 years for sure. Some Bechtel people actually told me this, "the cultural problems are too deep at LANL, TTRIAD will be in for a shock!!!". Well that prediction was wrong. Go TRIAD, go UC!!!

I am just curious why you say TRIAD are snakes? Everyone I know agrees that TRIAD has been way better than Bechtel. The only times I have heard anyone say something bad about TRIAD has been this blog. I know a few managers left when TRIAD came in but other than that who has an issue with TRIAD. Care to explain the issues you think TRIAD has.
