Friends of the lab! Talk to us!

What's the "ripple effect" of the workforce reductions?

There must be spouses, children, friends, maybe even parents of Labbies who are reading this blog for info (hey, maybe even teachers, neighbors, etc. etc.) .... What's happening in your worlds? How is this affecting you?

And Livermore business owners: Have you and your business been affected by the ongoing upheaval and uncertainty at the Lab?

Spouse of... oh wait, I work there too and we both received WARN act letters. Did you know they can lay off both spouses? They can, but will they...? (don't answer - I'm sure we all know the answer to that)

My wife's getting laid off at the end of May too. Wow, do you think businesses are feeling the pain of less spending by the Lab, the people laid off and everyone that is afraid to make a purchase because of uncertainty in their job stability?

Did anyone see the opinion in the Times by Miller? He's still talking about a world class institution going forward. He sounds like some punch drunk ex-champion fighter that doesn't understand it's all over.

Are we talking Contra Costa Time or Times magazine. I do agree 100% with you description of Big ( M ) . Remember this " punch drunk ex-champion fighter that doesn't understand it's all over" pretty much raps up the analogy of all ULM with Big (GM ) & ( FR ) being the ring leaders.

What a piece of work to wake up to with my morning coffee. Last week, our 14-yr-old asked: "Does this mean we'll lose our house and have to live out of shopping carts?"
Typical sarcastic teen tone. Not typical teen question.
