New UC president is pan cake aficionado with $900K compensation package (more than double his predecessors package). UC layoffs pending, reduction in available courses, huge increases in student costs and fees underway.
Obviously this is where Mike and George learned their management styles.
I already tried showing them ways to avoid the layoffs. They were not interested. They were also not interested in one employee exchanging with another, or in employees choosing to be layed off first.
In short, they specifically targeted people for this layoff, people they didnt want around. People that would make them look bad, people with medical conditions, people close to retirement but not quite,etc.
Again I will say this. LLNS doesn't give a hoot about what you think. They have an agenda and it will be done. Cut, cut, cut, downsize, downsize, downsize but none of the cuts will come from ULM where the savings really is.
If you are < 50 and Flex or SL and don't like it here, do your part and leave. That will save someone else's job who is close to retirement. Stop procrastinating!
LLNS is quickly learning from LANS how to avoid layoffs - the term is "managed attrition". Almost a year ago at LANL, this term was attributed to a statement made in a meeting by Anastasio. The gist of it is - make employees' working conditions so miserable that employees will leave on their own. There is a lot of evidence that people are steadily leaving LANL for greener pastures (which seems an incredibly simple task if you think about it). From what I've heard, many good people are also leaving LLNL.

Maybe LLNS can learn from UC:
