How many Flex Terms are left at LLNL?

By Anonymous
I've heard ~500 remain, is this number close?

And did all the remaining Flex Terms get their latest WARN notification in the mail yet? As expected, mine was waiting for me in my mailbox when I got home from work today.

As of April 1st LLNL has:

Career = 5591
Flex = 931
Post Docs = 136
Non career = 549

I have no idea of how many of each one of these went out the gate last week but these numbers do not add up to what George claims unless for every one FTE he fires he hire in a Bechtel employee in the back door. Sounds like a good ploy to me. get rid of the old who are close to having a retirement they can live on and put them in the poverty lines and bring in a contractor who in the end gets nothing for their efforts. What a scam.

Man this place has sure gone to he-- since LLNS took over. What a crap hole. Envision flushing the toilet and watching the vortex that forms. That's about the speed this place is going out of control and trapped in the vortex are some very good people with more devastation to come.

Lie, steal, and cajole your way into an upper management position as soon as you can. It's the only hope for surviving at LLNL.

Is there any reason why a flex term employee shouldn't be out looking for a new job? I have seen too many flex terms that are in denial. I am wondering what they are waiting for.

Plutonium Shots on NIF.

By scooby
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.

By scooby
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

By scooby
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!
