LLNS may have excluded the wrong people in last VSSOP? The exclusions were based on outdated job categories and related skills. ULM are now thinking that in the future, job categories and functional areas will have to be re-defined. The next VSSOP/ISP will be based on the new categories and functional areas. The questions I have are: 1) Why didnt they think of that before the transition. It seems like their style is “change things as you go”. Planning is out the window! 2) Who will give input on the new changes? The next RIF apparently is going to be more lucrative than the VSSOP. Depending on the length of employment, a RIFed person, not only gets their 1 week pay per year of service but also from 30 to 120 days notice, essentially 30 to 120 days pay. Please feel free to comment on the rumors or add new ones you actually heard.

I know because thats where I found mine.
In the past, I helped some of the LANL scientist transition to other opportunities. I am a technical recruiter working on the edges of science. I have been in business for 27 years as a specialist in highly computational disciplines.
IF (big if!) you are willing to relocate out of California, I have several opportunities for PhD level researchers with clearances (or prior clearances.)

Good luck
