This tells me the employees of LLNL can expect this year after year after year until LLNL is down to a manageable size of contract personnel who have no benefits, no 401k and are hired to do a job for a wage.
Welcome to corporate America where the goal is to work you until your dead, "on the job" all of which is beneficial to "them".
No 401k or benefits? Only the uneducated would work under those conditions. Well, unless you pay them exceptionally well.
You're kidding, right? NIF depends upon institutional subsidies. I hope you like the landscaping instead of getting a raise.
Your pay raises did not get absorbed by NIF's landscaping, but they may have gotten absorbed by the new contractor LLNS and those millions of dollars they are paying a bunch of worthless bozo's. It isn't as if we already didn't have 50% more managers than we needed when we were under UC. So if you're going to blame someone for not getting a pay raise you'd better look at those management fees we had to come up with. Who knows, many George will have good news for us on the 17th. Then everyone can go back to work and forget all the corruption that'll going on behind the scenes while you're being targeted. If you think the RIF's are going to be over in April, think again. This is a day to day forever changing workforce at their will, time and place.
That's a wonderful thought. Why not take the VSIP cost out of the LLNS management fee's and their big bonus checks since they have proven to be a worthless as boobs on a bore hog as far as I'm concerned.
LLNS has done absolutely nothing since they've take over except reap havoc upon the "blue collar workers" since their friggin arrival. If I were running LLNL, UC / LLNS ULM would be the first one's escorted out the gate by an armed security guard and my only hopes would be they'd get nasty about their removal so appropriate actions commensurate to the level of misbehavior could be immediately rendered.
On a similar note, I don't know about the rest of you, but my standard of living has dropped quite a bit this year.
Mediocre performers get 1%; great performers about 2!
Maybe we can have an extra set of armed personnel with a list of names of who they want to booted that day at the gates come Monday morning where LLNS ULM will report directly to a building where they too will be given their last rights and sent home, forever. Oh, I forgot one other caveat. They'll be required to return of their bonus checks and reimburse the budget the $125K relocation allowance before departure that day even if the have to mortgage their new estates they so comfortably moved in to. Do we care if that cost you your credit rating or forced you into bankruptcy. NOT A BIT. Get along little doggy. Getta- Along.
Expect more delays of getting into the gates on the morning of Jan 16th, 2008
12.5k? Maybe someone read it wrong.
