Did LLNS have their legal fee reimbursement requests for this OHA case retroactively rejected by the NNSA LFO Contracting Officer, or have their annual award fee revised downward for confirmed acts of misconduct? <br /><br />According to DOE legal fee reimbursement policy, a contractor who gets off on a technicality like, "we were going to fire the employee anyway" does not not dismiss underlying misconduct on the part of the contractor. The reimbursement policy makes sense if it is actually enforced by the local DOE/NNSA contracting officer. If the local contracting officer did not enforce the reimbursement policy, the contractor would always have the "we were going to fire the employee anyway" ace in the hole.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936951073896589340.post-88342672770512790922018-03-30T06:29:06.220-07:002018-03-30T06:29:06.220-07:00You are going to have a difficult time proving tha...You are going to have a difficult time proving that your situation, aside from your own person and performance, is unique. Since the tiger teams have first appeared almost 30 years ago, it is difficult to imagine any part of your formal place of work escaping the regulatory and compliance straitjacket (compared to an earlier time). LLNL is similar to other places one may find to work in, success and failure come in cycles, we are nowhere as important as we think we are, and it’s a personal choice to take the kind of professional risk you have decided to take. Trouble lurks where ideology, bitterness and resentment grows.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936951073896589340.post-79658216083387715882018-03-25T19:18:47.439-07:002018-03-25T19:18:47.439-07:00Many others are better informed LLNS spokesperson,...Many others are better informed LLNS spokesperson, sorry. <br /><br />March 25, 2018 at 3:07 PM<br /><br />Not a LLNL spokesperson, never been associated with LLNL.

HEAF is a Weapons and Complex Integration (WCI) facility managed by Principal Associate Director Charles P. Verdon, and he is the current nominee for NNSA Deputy Administrator. The Senate Armed Services Committee should have a series of focused whistleblower questions lined up for this NNSA Deputy Administrator nominee.

Hopefully Secretary Perry (former Governor of the Great State of Texas) will make this right.
