LLNS to change custodians working hours

Please post anon

Well LLNS just can't seem to shake what they're known for. Making changes and doing it all for the wrong reasons. Looks like they have their heads up their rectums again. How many times has this happened since the take over on Oct 1, 2007? Someone please keep count. It may someday make it to the Guinness world book of records.

LLNS in their infamous wisdom is going to force all custodian to start work at 4:00AM disregarding the fact that some may be on rapid transit that doesn't run at those hours but who cares how much the cost of gasoline is, lets just put these poor people in a more financial hurt.

Hell, they make the big bucks, lets just screw the blue collar worker once more.

There can be only one motive LLNS has in mind. Let make them do something that'll get the FTE's custodians to quit their job so we can ( out source the task and get these people off the retirement system. ) I hope they all endure and no one leaves.

I wonder what classification LLNS will attack next. Maybe they'll do away with AWS and screw everyone at once.

Stand by, the title wave has just gotten started.

I have a better idea, letsmake the17 pages of ULM start time at 4:00AM and see how long that BS last. ----Idiots.---

I read this on the LANL blog. There is however a few problems at LLNL.

"We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms -- to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way."

In times of uncertainty or disappointment, we all would be better off taking the approach that we are in charge of our own happiness, well being and contentment. If your stability is truly under the control of another human and can be thrashed or destroyed by administrative necessity or whim, there are bigger problems than just keeping your job.

I realize that our income and its associated economic stability are important and can be adversely affected by the employer, the governing agencies or the political leaders who are detached from the community but it still behooves each individual to determine where their real stability must come from - themselves - lest they become a languid maladapted dependent on a system that won't waste a moment's breath on them.


This is all very good but it's hard to soar with eagles when one has to fly with turkeys like LLNS. LLNS isn't motivational at all. They're view by the masses a group of over paid corporate arrogant concubines who brought with them a wrath of depression from day one. They're going to spend decades digging themselves out of thos hole.

Custodians in every private company I worked for always do their work before everyone gets to work. SO, starting at 4AM is nothing new. Welcome to the corporate world!

You have it all wrong. The ides here is to get "ALL" of you to quit and then LLNS can out source your jobs to a bunch of illegal aliens who will do it for 1/2 the pay. Most likely the contractors will be shipped in by a van pool, let lose at a specific locations where they'll aggressively attack the task at hand. At the end of the shift they'll jump back in the van and go home and have lunch. But, don't worry you're not alone. The same will go for gardeners and various other plant engineering jobs that have been abolished. This sage will continue until the people of LLNL have no more in common than anyone you may pass by at the mall.

Divide and conquer is a tactical ploy often used by ULM and in this case LLNS will reep the end results. Since we're cost cutting I'd say the new LLNS employees would be a good target. Anyone can do their job _for a lot less pay_. It doesn't take a brainiact to destroy a great organization and you surely don't need a PhD.

One more reason why the rich get richer and the poor get poorer

We get what we allow

I guess my question to all of you people is. How many of you are going to take the time to write your representatives and stop this BS? Again corporate America puts the burden on the tax payer / working classes back. It seems like a revolution is getting closer. I wonder how long it will be before the people up rise.

Plutonium Shots on NIF.

Tri-Valley Cares needs to be on this if they aren't already. We need to make sure that NNSA and LLNL does not make good on promises to pursue such stupid ideas as doing Plutonium experiments on NIF. The stupidity arises from the fact that a huge population is placed at risk in the short and long term. Why do this kind of experiment in a heavily populated area? Only a moron would push that kind of imbecile area. Do it somewhere else in the god forsaken hills of Los Alamos. Why should the communities in the Bay Area be subjected to such increased risk just because the lab's NIF has failed twice and is trying the Hail Mary pass of doing an SNM experiment just to justify their existence? Those Laser EoS techniques and the people analyzing the raw data are all just BAD anyways. You know what comes next after they do the experiment. They'll figure out that they need larger samples. More risk for the local population. Stop this imbecilic pursuit. They wan...

Trump is to gut the labs.

The budget has a 20% decrease to DOE office of science, 20% cut to NIH. NASA also gets a cut. This will  have a huge negative effect on the lab. Crazy, juts crazy. He also wants to cut NEA and PBS, this may not seem like  a big deal but they get very little money and do great things.

LLNL un-diversity

Actual post from Dec. 15 from one of the streams. This is a real topic. As far as promoting women and minorities even if their qualifications are not as good as the white male scientists, I am all for it. We need diversity at the lab and if that is what it takes, so be it.  Quit your whining. Look around the lab, what do you see? White male geezers. How many African Americans do you see at the lab? Virtually none. LLNL is one of the MOST undiverse places you will see. Face it folks, LLNL is an institution of white male privilege and they don't want to give up their privileged positions. California, a state of majority Hispanics has the "crown jewel" LLNL nestled in the middle of it with very FEW Hispanics at all!
