Just A Thought

By Anonymous
I'm convinced that none of us no matter how good we are, are safe.

LLNS is going to crap-on whomever they want, when they want and for what ever reason.

The only ones that can protect your job are the people you work for, and even they may not have enough Horse Power.

I've also come to the conclusion that each and everyone of us need to get into a mine set that says," I'm going to work today to do the best job I can, not for LLNS, but for myself" and with that we must understand that we may or may no survive the day. If for some reason we get tapped on the shoulder and your job comes to an abrupt end, you simply know, it wasn't your performance that got you axed, it was their stupidity; and for that reason it's their loss, not yours.

If LLNS accomplished nothing else while at the helm, they will have instilled self confidence in the few that understand the game, however that self confident can only come by your constant strive for perfection.

Never lose faith in yourself.

If you don't have this attitude you will never make it at LLNL. LLNL is no better than any other company outside this 1 square mile of property, they are however overloaded with overpaid managers and that's why they'll never be successful. This in conjunction with having NNSA as a directing bloated middle man between them and DOE is just one more nail in their coffin. NNSA needs to be dissolved and everyone in that organization fired.

People forget that LLNL was here before DOE ever existed. The reason why UC ran the weapons Labs because it was obvious that a government entity could not do the job. Now that DOE has finally got its hands on the weapons Lab they have and will poison them like they have with every other project/organization they have ever managed directly.

NNSA and the rest of DOE are worthless. Of the many people I've worked with in DOE over the past 30 years, over 90% make no contribution to anything except bureaucracy. Unfortunately, the few good ones are smothered by the sea of incompetence.

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!
