The Fox Watching The Hen House

I couldn't think of a better analogy to describe how LLNS is managing LLNL.

Anyone have a better comparison ?

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is laying off hundreds of workers.

The lab will give pink slips tomorrow to 330 career employees, and another 110 on Friday.

More than a third of those being laid off are scientists and engineers at the lab, which conducts nuclear weapons research and other national security and scientific work.

Lab spokeswoman Susan Houghton says Lawrence Livermore is working as hard as possible to place the laid-off workers in new jobs. The lab has identified more than 1,000 possible private-sector jobs that the laid-off workers might apply for.

The lab's work force was about 8,000 just two and a half years ago, but has been reduced by some 1,800 through attrition, retirements and layoff.

LLNL is analogous to a car careening over a cliff with the hands of ULM firmly gripping the steering wheel.
