Exiting Orders Given To All Managers

Please post anon, just a rumor but pretty sure it took place.

All Supervisors / Management meeting in building 123 today 5/7/2008

So tell us. How happy are all you guys in management and what's the exit plan for the 5/22/08. We know you were there so who has the balls to tell the working class how it's going to go down. It isn't SDI, or, is it? You have your orders and have been instructed on how you're going to carry them our. So tell us the big plan.

Isn't there enough entropy on the blog without nonsense like this?

I heard they were given a presentation by the police/deputy to help walk us out the gates because there are not enough security guards...?

Looks like there was no entropy at all. Anyone else have some useful information such as poster May 7, 2008 7:05 PM

Some of my co-workers were given boxes to pack their personal items "just in case". The stress keeps getting thicker ...

I heard they were making steel cages in Engineering. When the time comes, they stop by your office and you get in the cage. Cages can attach to each other, like boxcars. When the train gets long enough they wheel you out the west gate.

Tents will be set up for bystanders, and Refreshments will be served.

LLESA-sponsored waterballons will be sold. If you see someone you never did like, take a shot for $1.

In the afternoon is the Manager-sponsored exotic car show and abandoned car auction.

Pirate-plunder day starts on May 26. Employees are encouraged to dress up as pirates. Pirates are free to take computers, office supplies and any non-personal items from any RIFed employee office or cubicle.

When you get your 10 minute notice and are escorted you won't be thinking about much of anything except the fact you're gone.

Still waiting for that entropy dispelling confirmation...

I think only physics got together to disseminate what small amount of information they had. In most places, even the division leaders don't completely know what is going - certainly not anyone below that.

Rumor is that when you are notified, you will have some time to pack your personal items, then be escorted to the check out center. You will go through the gauntlet of checking out an you will have to make an appointment with the HR folks for the following week and meet with them at the Sunshine Center where all your benefits etc will be explained - I think I'm going to cough up another hairball.

"then be escorted to the check out center"

What if you decide to get in your car and just go home. This isn't the Army, they can't force anything.

May not be the Army, but it is Federal property with controlled access, security forces, and you have a security badge that comes with significant strings attached. What do you think?

So tell us exactly what would happen if I just walked to the gate calmly, turned my badge over to the guard and said have a good day. Come on tell me, please. I want to hear this BS.

What happens if you are on vacation that day
and not there

I heard a couple of GLs talking and rumor is that if you're off site the day notices are handed out, they will be giving you a phone call telling you to get in touch with your GL to make arrangements to meet and discuss your exit. They will also send your written notice letter in the mail to your house.

Security will then disable your badge electronically, so you can't get in through any of the badge readers. The guards will be notified to be on the lookout for you to stop you at the gate, but that seems like it might not work 100%. Someone will probably get through.

My suggestion would be to say that you are "sick" and wish to go home for now and discuss the situition later. Give them your badge and leave. If it happens to me, that's what I'm going to do. NOTE: This may not be the correct thing to do, nor is this legal advice - it's my opinion and it's waht I'm going to do.

If you are instructed to leave on 5/22 or 5/23, you will still be an employee (and paid a salary) for at least 30 more days, in addition to the ISP pay.

If you want to jeopardize all that money and perhaps face other consequences, go ahead and test the system.

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.

LLNL un-diversity

Actual post from Dec. 15 from one of the streams. This is a real topic. As far as promoting women and minorities even if their qualifications are not as good as the white male scientists, I am all for it. We need diversity at the lab and if that is what it takes, so be it.  Quit your whining. Look around the lab, what do you see? White male geezers. How many African Americans do you see at the lab? Virtually none. LLNL is one of the MOST undiverse places you will see. Face it folks, LLNL is an institution of white male privilege and they don't want to give up their privileged positions. California, a state of majority Hispanics has the "crown jewel" LLNL nestled in the middle of it with very FEW Hispanics at all!
