Case of favoritism?

Anonymously contributed:

Before Oct. 1, any hire that LLNS wanted, LLNS got. They had their own abbreviated hire form and they set the salary. Hire packages went directly to LLNS and LLNS made the hire offers. LLNL’s HR department was not in the loop.

In my area, we were “forced” (told) to hire a spouse of a LLNS employee even though we had interviewed better qualified candidates. We suggested a start salary, but LLNS offered more. This was found out after the spouse began. LLNS never mentioned this to us. Also, we were told to pay the spouse for transit time.

Yes, LLNS spouses were excluded from VSSOP, as was everyone who had less than one year of service.

Have you seen cases like these? Speak up!

Favoritism has been a way of life at LLNL even before LLNS. I cannot tell you how many opportunities were taken away from me as a qualified applicant in COMP. In every case, either the posting requirements changed on the fly, a group pretended they could not make up their mind or there is a "change" in priorities for this job, just to hear later that a favorite someone got hired.
How do you combat that?
