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.

safety:

white powder found in bag at west gate office.
security gate at vasco east ave bus turn around area opened on its own.

I m 200 series and I was told where the vacuum was kept, so I wanted to see my rug cleaned I could do it myself.
The detention center is offsite close to the freeway (down Greenville).Management is very worried that people will leave viruses on their computers that will launch after they have left. Sup.'s are being trained right now to handle the removal of those who have been laid off.
The moral is terrible security infraction are up this has become a horrible place to work I dread getting up and coming here.
The job market is bad I will probably loose my home and my marriage great job nnsa.
I am glad to hear SPSE is fighting to save our skilled crafts people from this May layoff. Our IAP and flex term skilled crafts and our Laborers, Custodians, Gardeners, etc. got whacked very bad in the last layoff. Some of our crafts ( including career crafts ) have quit LLNL due to all the stress, lack of job security, etc.
LLNL can not afford to loose any more of our Plant Engineering crafts workers.
Sunshine Building being prepared for up to 20 computer work stations. Sounds like we are dividing different divisions???
But yes - they can, and some are dividing up divisions for the big ax. Especially if they use more than one payroll acct. number; which is what some of the "units" are comprised of.
