Rumors of reorganization?

By scooby
There are rumors floating around about the reorganization of Business Operations and the consolidation of certain Computations functions into Business Operations.
Can anyone confirm?

This may be linked to the rumor I heard from an ULM that Operations and Business has to cut another $3.5 million from its budget before the end of this year.

They need to.. Its like a spinning top.. All the management on top and the few worker bees left on the bottom. They need to cut out all the levels of management they created after October 1st and drop management down to pick up the slack for the actual workers they got rid of.. Are they too proud that they can't do what needs to be done to keep Business Ops. running successfully? Or do they just not want to get their fingernails dirty? You be the judge!!!!

And when did it ever run successfully? HR alone would counter the a "successful" reference.

Us worker bees who are still there just have a different philosophy when we go to work every day. We look at it as just a paycheck, a job that is hard to come by these days. And that's sad because working at the lab used to be so much more. But it's getting increasingly difficult with the changing environment there. Fortunately some of us still love the work we do and the project we're on, so we still have that to focus on. But for how much longer is the question.

Worker bee's are being used in Bus Ops to make it through FY 08 and watch out...more career employees to be laid off 10/1/08.

Today, Frankie announced a new DAD in OPS & BUS that will be charge of integrating IT within the OPS & BUS and pave the way for a centralized IT for the entire Lab.

Great.

Not....

ULM has already shown it's a bunch of brain-donors. Like the move to use a Microsoft e-mail service and forcing the shutdown of any alternate servers than what OpenLabNet offered.

Less security, less capability, harder to support in large scale, payware vs Open Source. For what gain?

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.

Why Workplace Jargon Is A Big Problem

By scooby
From the Huffington Post Why Workplace Jargon Is A Big Problem http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/04/25/work-words_n_5159868.html?utm_hp_ref=business&ir=Business When we replace a specific task with a vague expression, we grant the task more magnitude than it deserves. If we don't describe an activity plainly, it seems less like an easily achievable goal and more like a cloudy state of existence that fills unknowable amounts of time. A fog of fast and empty language has seeped into the workplace. I say it's time we air it out, making room for simple, concrete words, and, therefore, more deliberate actions. By striking the following 26 words from your speech, I think you'll find that you're not quite as overwhelmed as you thought you were. Count the number that LLNLs mangers use.  touch base circle back bandwidth - impactful - utilize - table the discussion deep dive - engagement - viral value-add - one-sheet deliverable - work product - incentivise - take it to the ...
