Has anyone ever noticed the amazing similarity between working at LLNS and the board game Paranoia?

Write-up for that game here. Paranoia

What would make you believe that. I see none what so ever on this blog. What I do see is people looking for answers to questions so they can plan their future. ULM's knows the answers to the questions but don't want the worker to know until it's to late. No one at LLNL is ever going to trust management again. Not now and not ever.

I see absolutely no comparison between working here and this game. Please explain what you mean.

LOL!

Information is on need to know, and you don't know anything.

The rules are contradictory, and the powers that be smack you hard anytime they like.

Huge amounts of infighting and backstabbing.

Secret agendas.

Most of the cool stuff ends up killing you.

Was this game designed by someone at LLNL? More important, where can I find it?

I played this game in my younger years. And yes there are similarities when you have a whacked GM.

Hmmm. "GM" is short for both "Game Master" and the Lab Director.

Coincidence? You be the judge.

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.

LLNL un-diversity

By scooby
Actual post from Dec. 15 from one of the streams. This is a real topic. As far as promoting women and minorities even if their qualifications are not as good as the white male scientists, I am all for it. We need diversity at the lab and if that is what it takes, so be it.  Quit your whining. Look around the lab, what do you see? White male geezers. How many African Americans do you see at the lab? Virtually none. LLNL is one of the MOST undiverse places you will see. Face it folks, LLNL is an institution of white male privilege and they don't want to give up their privileged positions. California, a state of majority Hispanics has the "crown jewel" LLNL nestled in the middle of it with very FEW Hispanics at all!
