There are opportunities at the Lab but the motivation on the part of management to fill them is not there!
Things will change but in another couple of years. Certainly not 08 or 09.
The indicators are:
1) How many posting are there in the jobs.llnl.gov site and what are they for? There should be more postings but many managers are too paralyzed to make a move and post.
2) I have looked for opportunities within the lab for 2 years now.
First, before the transition, it looked like the hiring managers had an incredible preference for outside applicants(may be outside applicants tend to be younger?)
Second, my own management was hell bent on not letting me get "matrixed".
That is not likely to change without a culture change!
3)After the transition, all managers seem to be paralyzed, waiting for the next directive.
No one wants to make a move.
Will LLNS look at the lack of career development for its employees?
It seems that that is not even on the list to do now.
I have the impression that LLNS is encouraging people indirectly to leave so they can replace them with new cheaper, qualified or not, workforce.
Someone from "key personel" can correct it on that!

You are correct. Cheaper, 401k only and gone before 50 so they will be entitled to nothing. It's the way of the new world. At the same time you have the government limiting your defered tax free contibutions and soon to raise taxes.
Career development has taken a back-seat to more basic needs -- survival under declining budgets.
