“We did have an office that we closed…so we have restructured our program and directed them to other activities.”
How do you get from a closed office to “directed them to other activities”?
The normal pattern when LLNL program funding is lost if applied here would be DEI staff would become EIT employees, where it is the EIT employees responsibility to compete for and acquire a programmatically funded assignment or face individual RIFs. “Rules for thee but not for me".
All I can say is the comments that some employees leave on Newsline on the internal article are entertaining to say the least. Sometimes it’s the same individual leaving the same BS on everyone else’s comment.
Quickly admitting in public your DUI arrest was refreshing Director Buduil, but promptly hiring a lawyer to fight a DUI charge is something many lab worker bees can’t always afford. As the first woman to be the LLNL Director, please explain why the DEI office staff was thoughtfully ushered into other LLNL assignments instead of instantly becoming EIT status lab employees like unprotected non-DEI status employees are when a loss of programmatic funding occurs?
Something to be reminded of, EIT status has caused quite a bit of heartbreak and untimely death to some of our colleagues.
The DUI event sure shows the true colors of management and how they treat the working class at the lab. Normally a DUI or even accused of a DUI result ls in having your clearance revoked, and not having a clearance in some of the working class organizations in the past meant you were on the EIT list and if they didn’t find another job they were shown the door.
