Notice the text at the bottom of page 6 of the PDF file:

Based on our financial status and need to be more cost
effective – I’ve requested an Involuntary Separation
Program for up to 535 career indefinite employees. We
will continue to assess and reduce our flexible workforce.

It looks like this is only the beginning and on this view graph we are given the facts. The intent is there to flush more people.

Also did you notice how he danced around the question as to what the work force should look like in the future at LLNL. If you listen closely you will hear him say, there will be FTE professionals, but, all support will be term or contract. That long time relationship with their employees does not apply to blue collar worker, period.

more supplemental labor to hit the streets. Gee, I wonder how many have security clearances? Think they will be selling secrets? I have read on this blog that is what the laid off FTE's will be doing so it would be safe to assume supplemental labor will be doing the same.

Remember what Wong said when he was asked why is it that all term and contract employees were no paid off before any FTE. Did you hear his reply. Here's what he said, "I though FTE's were the flexible work force". Isn't that a kick in the teeth and reinforces exactly what the previous posted heard Miller say. We're all Screwed with a capitol S

I find it interesting that 121 people just outright quit, not even waiting around to take the voluntary separation and pay. The shows how bad things really are.

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.

Why Workplace Jargon Is A Big Problem

By scooby
From the Huffington Post Why Workplace Jargon Is A Big Problem http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/04/25/work-words_n_5159868.html?utm_hp_ref=business&ir=Business When we replace a specific task with a vague expression, we grant the task more magnitude than it deserves. If we don't describe an activity plainly, it seems less like an easily achievable goal and more like a cloudy state of existence that fills unknowable amounts of time. A fog of fast and empty language has seeped into the workplace. I say it's time we air it out, making room for simple, concrete words, and, therefore, more deliberate actions. By striking the following 26 words from your speech, I think you'll find that you're not quite as overwhelmed as you thought you were. Count the number that LLNLs mangers use.  touch base circle back bandwidth - impactful - utilize - table the discussion deep dive - engagement - viral value-add - one-sheet deliverable - work product - incentivise - take it to the ...
