We need some CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN. Can we find a 47 year old technically strong leader who can restructure our lab to support the scientific and technical staff in redefining our mission?
Your opinion?

Huh? What's with the 47 year old. I don't care who is age is, as long as he/she has the guts and managerial skills to turn this Lab around.
No you will not. The wages aren't there nor is the pension plan. A 401K is not going to get DOE / LLNS what they want. They had a good system with good people. All they're going to get now are transients. If LLNL had decade long term projects with a pension plan equal to UC's they might once again be worth keeping. As it is now it's just another jumping stone for the new breed of employees to put on their resume to get a better paying job and benefits elsewhere.

Well, transients is all they want from here on out, fella. You are going to see people come into LLNL to work for about 5 years and then move on to better jobs. It will be much like what happens in most of the corporate world.
Loyalty at LLNL is dead, but LLNS killed it off with a purpose in mind. It's cheaper for LLNS to keep morale low and to continually roll over the exiting workforce with new hires so they can acquire cheap labor and control the remaining workforce with the big stick called fear.
Of course, this will kill off the good science and many of the WFO programs, but what's that got to do with making a buck on the management of LLNL? It's all about money from here on out. Not your money, but theirs'.

You're absolutely correct. Many of us young people are here for the sole purpose of putting this relationship on our resume and then we're moving on.
