Charred cinder here.
Well tomorrow or early this week should be the beginning of a stressful time for some and the end of a stressful year for others, well, at least until George doesn't get as many people as he would like to have. I hear 730 to begin with. Then comes more stress when he says, well I was hoping for more but I have no choice but to let 300 FTE go by April 2008. Sorry but we have to cut cost, while on the other hand shows that each person at LLNL cost between $400K and $600K plus on the lab pricers. I saw a picture running around on the old blog somewhere of an executive type in a white shirt, slacks and a tie on. The VIP had his head stuck up his butt all the way to the shoulders as the tie flopped to the side. I think it was entitled, cranium rectum inversion. I'd say it's time for this picture to surface once again in honor of LLNS futile exercise of reducing manpower cost by laying off people and doing absolutely nothing that will in fact resolve the "real" issues. If anyone can find the picture please post at the very top when the VSSOP announcement comes out on this blog.
Many people got this notice by e-mail. Does anyone know why it was sent out and why it only went to a selected few. Are those who got this being told, "you've been selected for departure at a given date and we need to know where you are at all times so we can give you the final word or escort you out the gate"?
This is very important!
There is going to be a Laboratory wide announcement this week. This means, I need know your schedules for the next three days, including:
* Will you be here, I need to know where you are. Other than short runs to other buildings, I will need to get in touch with each of you at a moments notice. Stay in touch with me if you plan on being away from your phone. Pager is the next best. Please wear them.
* If you are taking vacation, I need a phone number where I can reach you at a moments notice.
* If you go on sick leave or think you may go on sick leave, I need a phone number where I can reach you at a moments notice.
* If you are on travel or planning to be on travel, I need a phone number where I can reach you at a moments notice.
I apologize for not being able to give more information at this time. Other than the obvious question, please call me if you have any others.
Keep in touch.
I wonder if I should file an OSHA complaint for a dangerous work environment. This kind of un-neccessary, premeditated stress can kill.
Nope. Group Leaders were asked to know where employees are this week so they can be readily contacted.
My guess is a massive midnight circle jerk to complement our wonderfully inane sexual harassment training.
