Compensation versus bonus

Anonymous wants to know:

So what do you think about bonuses instead of compensation?

The same people will get the big bonuses and the big raises. Managers bonuses won't be discussed, but will dwarf the worker bee bonuses and a big deal will be made about the small bonuses.

bad idea.

Bonuses would be used to by-pass the current appraisal and salary system. Making a bad situation even worse.

The lab should either

1. Go back to having all salary and compensation information open and freely available.

2. Let the workers negotiate for their compensation, i.e. union contracts.

You all need to leave dreamland and get back to the real world ... LLNL will never be the same, better get used to it. I left early this year, never had one moment of regret.

They'll do anything to assure your retirement pay is reduced when it comes time to calculate your entitlement $$ for life. This new for profit organization running LLNL sucks a big ones to the max.

Just to be clear: Bonuses will not increase your salary. Bonuses almost certainly will be paid for by reducing salary increases. Net result: lower salaries.

Now think about what depends on your salary: many benefits, including your TCP2 pension.

My conclusion: among other things, this program is a way to cheat long-term employees out of their hard-earned pension dollars.

Thanks, DOE and LLNS
