Have you taken IS0012-W and seen the new work control program? This is another step towards stopping all work except bureaucratic paperwork. What group of idiots sold this?

I took both courses in about 30 minutes. You can pretty much skip to end of the sections and take the test.

My eyes glazed over after the first minute. There is just too much stuff to remember. I can't imagine how anyone can keep all of this stuff straight.

Why do you need to even ask this question? Big money is being made by managing the NNSA "research" labs for a healthy profit.

Training at the Lab is a formality; do you really learn anything? It is the CYA training!

Does anyone else feel that they keep reinventing the wheel around here?

The sad thing is that senior management really believes the new work control program is an improvement and "the future of the Lab."

Just another reason why I am collecting a few more paychecks, then retiring.

I am proud of the contributions I made to the Lab over the years, but now it doesn't matter any more. The Cold War is over, and so is the mission of the Lab.

The Bechtel Managers in LLNS think the Lab is an undisciplined mess. They have not clue about running a research institution founded by a university. They really do not like or understand how researchers and scientists think or do their work. They are just beginning to realize that LLNL is not a production facility or site with nuclear reactors.

Isn't it ironic that LTRAIN and all this formal training nonsense came into being after the Lab had stopped underground testing and new weapons development. I don't know how we were able to do all we did without LTRAIN--and ISMS, ISSM, and all the other useless waste of taxpayer money.

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.
