More lies, wet-dreams and turmoil to come from unnecessary changes in people monitoring where they'll be required to account for time spent on your account number most likely in ten minute increments. May I suggest when you pick up the phone you reply as such. "Customer service, may I have your full name and account number please ?". Once you have that information you can begin your NORMAL conversation. Note the time. At the end of the conversation you should immediately enter the minutes into your excel spreadsheet or time card and hopefully by the end of the week it'll total forty hours. If it doesn't you'll have to fudge the books, but what the heck it's only time that could have been spent being productive. Remember if you can't measure it you can't control it. I wonder when being none compliant to this new requirement is going to shop up in section K of the P&PM as another means for dismissal.
If Frank is smart, he should talk to the actual workers doing the jobs that ULM is disecting instead of listening to MLM & ULM that don't know what to say but "Yes sir". Her might learn something. (Ok, now we can all clap)
There was a lot of to-do about the money that ULM. The amount still doesn't cover the added cost to the Lab from ULM fees and state taxes. So after laying off thousands of people, reducing services, plumetting employee morale, we are still not at financial square one. NNSA bears the blame for this mess.
Liedle bragged about the better safety rate under ULM. Does anyone who works at the Lab believe this is due to anything that ULM has done ? More likely, the lower accident rate was due to less real work being done. This look good now, but wait until this lack of substantive work catches up to us.
Can you say, "the excuse ULM's been looking for to get LLNL down by 50% more people than it already is". No work, no need for people, do you people get it yet. Don't worry it will all happen in due time. Even NIF will be down-sizing in the future. Once the stars are aligned and it's handed over to jacobs the need for the number of people they have onboard will be diminished.
Yeah, when this fool going to retire and stop causing problems. He's like a dog marking his spot in hopes he'll be remembered for doing something good. Well guess what. That's not what he'll be remembered for. It'll be more like, Sniff Sniff

This is referred to as "Work-free Safety Zones". WFSZ's are popping up all over the place and this helps make the accident stats keep looking better and better.
Couple this with a new corporate culture that punishes people when they log any accidents. Your bosses don't want to hear about it. Break a leg at work? Then best drag yourself to your car and get to a hospital and keep quiet if you want to keep your job.
Sadly, this is the new reality under LLNS "for-profit" management.
How stupid does he think we are? He makes some sort of comment about supplemental labor having profit in the contract, and then says there were people making profit when UC ran the place. No kidding, just like every contract issued. Only now there is the Rectal $41M profit added. Thanks for the info Frank.
