So, has your workload increased?
I know that since the VSOP and ISP, we lost a bunch of people in my department. The work hasn't decreased, just the number of people doing the work. Now, we've a bunch of people who are over worked, doing jobs they've never done before, with no one to ask (nor time to do so) if they are doing the job right. I smell an incident.

Yes. The firings removed many key scientific support personnel. Some well-funded projects cannot find qualified workers. There is pressure to get deliverables to WFO sponsors who are already disgusted with our overhead rates. Meanwhile, many of the infrastructure staff (safety teams, building coordinators) are refusing to do their work, because their support staff were cut, and they will be darned if they will lift themselves out of their comfy chairs and deliver packages or sort through hazardous waste. So yes, as planned by those who oversaw the layoffs throughout the lab- while oddly excluding NIF entirely from the layoffs- life is tougher.
Yes. I now do the work of three people for the same pay and see no reward for doing so in site, except to stay employed. Isn't slave labor and exploitation a wonder concept? It's the way of the new world order. Corporate America is finally following China's lead by way of the people acceptance.
I have one two days off in the past 2 months so i do not see a problem. just beat us donkeys harder.
Well let's see-I was doing two jobs and got laid off, so I guess I should have found another job or two in order to stay employed. Of course now someone is doing those two jobs plus whatever else they had to do.Good luck and stay healthy.
