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...

Anyone with a lick of common sense would realise that mediocre pay will not retain high-quality employees unless some other incentive exists.
LLNL used to have those incentives, allowing it to get away paying folks so-so wages. Now those intangibles like interesting work, a stable work environment, and a good retirement package are all gone.
If LLNL is going be run by mercenaries, by God we ought to get premium mercenary-grade pay to go with it. That's how the major defense contractors can manage to get good people to work on their big projects despite letting them go after the project is complete.
You don't understand. he doesn't give a rats butt about you. he's making $437K a month plus perks and just to make that clear he has just taken you Pacific Care and health net away from you and gave you blue cross and Kaiser and then raised you out of pocket expenses on all insurances in a year where you are going to get 1.5 cents on the dollar. I'd say that was might kind of THAT !!! You can take that in any context you want.

Watch it, mister. You can always be replaced.
(The Management)
A: Our contract with DOE requires that overall the Laboratory pay its employees based on market surveys. Our position to market is indeed an average-to-average comparison for benchmark positions as our contract dictates. This average-to- average comparison establishes on a percentage basis what the Laboratory will be allowed across the entire population to compensate its employees. Individual compensation decisions take into account skills, knowledge and abilities (SKAs), performance, and overall contribution to the Laboratory and may result in salaries above, at, or below the market average.
Do you people actually believe this. The way they rank you is by salary and perception, nothing else. They can help you if they wish or hurt you for your entire career as often as they wish and justify their every act completely.
