Covert work?

Anonymously asked:

Given that the new task based work process with attendant documentation has slowed work to a crawl, has anybody else resorted to guerilla maintenance (working things in on Mondays and Fridays sans documentation when "safety" coverage is low) in order to get minor things done?

God help you if you have an accident. The Bechtel team will hold a very public execution if you survive.

Heavens no! It is vitally important to give any new system a fair chance . . .

to fail on its own merits.

What do you mean time to do research on the sly? I've got so many admin duties that research is low on the priorities. Heck....it takes me a whole day to get a paper submitted to a journal and then through the IM system. If you add on safety,ordering, training and the PA process there goes the rest of your time.

LLNS keeps on trying to automate things which seems to always result in more individual time spent on the computer and less research. The best part is when they automate a lot of the task such as ordering and the IM system is always cost the WFO direct funds.
