Friggen idiots. Fire people and lay them off because they make to much money and then hire dumb butts in at a very cheap wage. Make sure the words get out what these people made before, so the new hires don't come in for any less. They need to tell LLNL to pound sand and demand higher wages then they got before they left.

If you look closely it's not LLNS hiring, it's a couple of subcontractors. You may quibble over that distinction but it is a huge difference to be working FOR the lab (as an FTE) as opposed to working AT the lab (for subcontractor). It's easier to make the flex terms and contractors vanish. That may change if Bechtel can figure out how to get rid of a lot of people via the AT WILL status we are now under, but as the game is now played, flex term and contract people are cannon fodder.

Newsflash, this is in NIF, you know, the part of the lab that got exempted from the voluntary and potential involuntary separation plan?

So far as I can see this is business as usual for NIF.

Higher turnover equals higher security risk. If we have a major security leak I suspect the entire management chain will be on the chopping block. It will be well deserved for their attempt to merge corporate hatchet tactics with a high-security environment. Wake up management, havent you been reading the news?

Plutonium Shots on NIF.

By scooby
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.

By scooby
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.

Rumor corner

By scooby
LLNS may have excluded the wrong people in last VSSOP? The exclusions were based on outdated job categories and related skills. ULM are now thinking that in the future, job categories and functional areas will have to be re-defined. The next VSSOP/ISP will be based on the new categories and functional areas. The questions I have are: 1) Why didnt they think of that before the transition. It seems like their style is “change things as you go”. Planning is out the window! 2) Who will give input on the new changes? The next RIF apparently is going to be more lucrative than the VSSOP. Depending on the length of employment, a RIFed person, not only gets their 1 week pay per year of service but also from 30 to 120 days notice, essentially 30 to 120 days pay. Please feel free to comment on the rumors or add new ones you actually heard.
