Truth Please
Is SP (AD for engineering) being truthful when he says his impending resignation has nothing to do with the current situation at the Lab?

I doubt SP's retirement has anything to do with what he is seeing going down around him. heck he was one involved in the entire mess. It's simple people where have all of you been. One king-pin steps down to make a slot of one of the good old boys who's been sniffing that spot out for years. It's a shoe-in. Then the one that retires comes back as a consultant paid a lot more than when he left . I mean how much more do you want than 100% of your salary for life plus that times two for coming back have coffee and donuts telling old stores about how great life is at $30oK a years while they in the AC offices watch the slaughter. It SOP for ULM and always has been. If you think any of these people in ULM have a conscience you are sadly mistaken. They dumped that decades ago when they took on their first job in management where ranking was involved. They are as callus as they come. More like an armadillo.
Actually, SP's position is complicated by a number of factors, not the least of which is that his former teaching position was held for him.
This goes to the heart of the commitment of senior management. Are they here for the Laboratory, or just for the duration of their (short) contract commitment? You will see that a number of senior lab management seem to have their homes and families in other States.
Not an enduring (or at least comforting) situation in my view.
They're here to get their salaries pumped up for the duration of the contract. Once the dirty deed is done their bank accounts will be plush and as the previous poster said they'll move out of state and live the life. They've done their job an you'll remain here to suffer for the rest of your lives because you can't afford to leave and do the same.
The RECHTEL boy are only here for ywo years, one they dump 1/3 of the work force here at llnl and collect their performance cash they will go back to the rocks that they have crawled out from under.
SP has given the Engineering Directorate five very committed years. Hardly a short stint. If he comes back as a consultant at all it will be on a very limited basis. He's not going to waste time just to sit in Livermore and eat donuts. There's still too much serious technical work he wants to do and will have fun doing it on a campus.
I guess one retirement check isn't enough, hah? I only wiosh I could retire out at 50% of what these people make, I'd be set for life and never look back. Yes it is all about geting that check and never having to deal with the company again. There is far more to life than working for a living. LLNL is just a job that pays the bills and always has been just a job.
