MMED, First To Get Working Hours Changed

MMED, First To Get Working Hours Changed

Post anon,

Rumor: The Lab is going to do away with adjusted alternate work schedules.

Fact: This is incorrect. While the Laboratory has been reworking the policies and procedures on adjusted alternate work schedules, necessitated by the transition from a public to private contract manager, there is no plan to do away with the adjusted alternate schedules.

Fact # 2 : The shops, meaning 321 manufacturing are now on fixed hours working hours starting June 1st

5 / 8's from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM
9 / 80's from 7:00 AM to 4:30 PM
4-10 done away with entirely.

Standby for standardization across the lab. I wonder why they didn't make it effective across the entire lab come June 1st for "ALL" employees. Could it be that ULM couldn't get their butts out of bed at 6:00 AM and if they standardized it across the board they'd have to abide by the same rules. We couldn't have that could we?

If these are going to be the working hours then we are right back to an original request. Get the Greenville gate open at 6:00AM instead of 6:30 AM. Maybe the people that're making these rules can give up some of their ungodly salary and put in a cane booth. What a concept. I'm beginning to wonder if they had the funds could they get this done by Oct 1st, 2008. At least we'd have something to celebrate come FY_09. I see they're going to hack down some trees in that area. Could it be a wish come true? Maybe that's just the new Startrek transporter they're putting in for a quick RIF response.

A dream come true.

"New double-door portals to accommodate controlled entry/exit access at the East Avenueand Vasco Road gate and Eastgate Drive and Greenville Road entrance will begin May 10. Bicycle and pedestrian traffic will be disrupted at these two locations. Observe all traffic detours, warning signs and barricade lines. This project is scheduled for completion by July 12."

Plutonium Shots on NIF.

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.

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

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.
