Pretty sad in an economy that's set most of us back 20% or more. I guess when you're at the top WFC. The attitude is, "I'm doing just fine, what your problem". Oh and BTW if you don't like what we have to offer I'll show you the door. We have lots of slave labor that is willing to work and do your job for half the pay. From ULM perspective it's just smart business practice to exploit the job market whenever possible.

LLNS emphasis seems to be on downsizing everything. So, they intend for people to leave (talented or not). This is a goal. That way, they wont have to do any lay offs.
... and what happens to the contract requirement of retaining talented people?
Well, you can bet that "talented" will be redefined and LLNS will pass with flying colors!

Haven't you heard? There's a shortage of scientists and engineers.

Not sure how talented will be redefined. I do laugh when they talk about attracting the world's best. And they're really not exploiting the job market at this point - the market is exploiting them as lots of this talent leaves for jobs elsewhere. So much of what made working at LLNL a good career/life move has gone so we might as well go too.

Those who're valued got the best raises. The rest got crapped on. Now you know how you're viewed by LLNS so get back to work and by the way we'll want more productivity from each of you again in FY-09 for the same or possibly less next year. We're finding the transition to be the most motivating event in LLNL history I've seen. Have a great day people.

So there you have it once again. Some will be very happy but many will be very sad since the percentages shown reflect what you could get not what you're going to get. As you well know, in past years some received a 0% raise in a 3% years while others in the same classification got 6%-12%. What's to make you believe it'll be any different this year or in years to come.

It pays to be a manager at LLNL, salary-wise. When salaries were public knowledge under UC, I compared managers raises to their employees' raises. The differences were staggering!

Nothing has changed. It's only gotten better for management. Big rewards for accomplishing nothing. It's the same for all the turds who's firms failed, plastered the American tax payer with more debt and have contributed to the nations demise. Everyone of those CEO's got a golden hand shake, millions of dollars in severance pay and multi-million dollar retirement plans. What do the people that actually do the work get? Well you figure it out. In reality everyone of the CEO belongs in prison with a cell mate known as Tyrone who would be the dominant male for the duration of their life. Maybe a little getten of what they gave it what they deserve.

Hey DOE boys aka GM and FR. What's you raise this year for doing such a SH job. If I had my way you'd be making 75% less and getting the boot.

A public hanging is much cheaper. Then let'm hang there for a while for people to walk by read the charges posted by their chest.

Management is not really interested in what you think as long as you show up and they can tax your wfo/matrixed accounts.

The best way to show your feelings about the salaries is to just walk away. I am expecting this to be my third round of not getting raise (I did get bonuses).

I really don't know anybody that did not receive more pay, better benefits etc... when they moved on from LLNL. Some took longer to find work than others, but there are clearly other options out there. At this point, If LLNL closes the nation will not suffer, the damage has been done.

More pay - YES - but less 401(k) match, more than offset by generous hiring bonus

Better benefits - YES - including (believe it or not) more vacation and sick leave, and additional retirement after 5 years

AND, job security to boot!

Glad to be gone.

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.

Rumor corner

By scooby
LLNS may have excluded the wrong people in last VSSOP? The exclusions were based on outdated job categories and related skills. ULM are now thinking that in the future, job categories and functional areas will have to be re-defined. The next VSSOP/ISP will be based on the new categories and functional areas. The questions I have are: 1) Why didnt they think of that before the transition. It seems like their style is “change things as you go”. Planning is out the window! 2) Who will give input on the new changes? The next RIF apparently is going to be more lucrative than the VSSOP. Depending on the length of employment, a RIFed person, not only gets their 1 week pay per year of service but also from 30 to 120 days notice, essentially 30 to 120 days pay. Please feel free to comment on the rumors or add new ones you actually heard.
