How much do you get paid?

LAB SALARIES ITEMS APPROVED AT JUNE 2006 REGENTS

MICHAEL R. ANASTASIO, LANS PRESIDENT AND LANL DIRECTOR

During his five-year appointment as LANS President/LANL Director, will receive an
annual non-base building supplement in the amount of $100,000 in addition to his
base salary of $367,000 ($350,000 paid by LANS and $17,700 by the University).
----------------------------------------------

Given this info, plus a possible 20% bonus, it looks like Mike could be making
the following:

$367 K + $100 K = $467 K

$467 K + 20% Bonus = $467 K +$93 K ===> $560 K

From a Congressional memo requesting this info back in '06 you'll find the
following:

energycommerce.house.gov/
Investigations/
LANL.QFR.resptoAnastasio.QFR.ltr.pdf

-----------------------------------------------
Anastasio, Michael - Laboratory Director:

$357,000 (base), $451,605 (base + UC fringe)
-----------------------------------------------

Again, adding in a 20% bonus would give:

$451 K + 20% Bonus = $451 K + $ 90 K ===> $541 K

This is far more than a recent "anonymous" poster stated, who would have you
believe that Mike only makes about $350 K.

I find it very interesting that Mike apparently seems to want to have the staff
believe that his salary isn't all that high.

It seems that Mike easily makes over half a million dollars per year. He also
gets a pension payout guarantee and a $743 monthly auto allowance to lease a nice
looking luxury sports car.

Of course, if Mike really wanted to come clean about his Director's salary, he
wouldn't be hiding it behind the flimsy excuse of LANS proprietary information. I
find it curious that LANL's Director appears to have a need to be disingenuous
about his salary.

Why all the phony posturing, Mike? Just throw the figures out to the public for
everyone to see along with the salaries of all the PADs and ADs.

It's time the workers get 20% after taxes to make up for what they're losing due
to higher fuel cost which affects eveything. It's ULM that should get a zero % '
payraise.

A half mil may seem like a lot to you and me, but the head of a $2billion in sales corporation would normally get several mil in annual income. Like the rest of us, Mike is also "sacrificing" to serve national security.

The point is not that he makes 1/2M. Many CEOs make much more than that. The point is that what is being disclosed is not true. LANS tries to minimize his salary. why?

Why? Well, I guess it's because they're no better than any other politician in this country and they can get away with it. So where's GM and FR income posted.

Oh, cut the c....! Mike could never make it as the leader of a big, successful corporation. He's Bechtel's "house boy" who does whatever the master wants him to do. Miller is in the same boat. And, in case you didn't notice, there is a huge difference between a company that competes for actual sales of over $2 billion per year and a government owned entity that is mostly on auto-pilot for their incoming funds. Geeze, the shills for the lab LLCs must think the employees at these labs are complete idiots!
