Have You Had a Chance to Look at the LLNL Sponsered Employee Blog?

I took a look. Too bad my post never got posted.

Of course your post never got posted. It's moderated and they only want employees to post happy thoughts about LLNS on the site.

Why is this website so negative? It's understood that everything isn't at its best at the Laboratory but .. I LOVE where I work, the people are great, and although everything isn't perfect it sure beats the alternative. Thinking positively is a huge motivator .. think about it>

I was interested to see this topic came up in this forum. I am the LLNL Work-Life Blog administrator. You can get to this blog from the internal MyLLNL portal, Employee Center tab. So far we have had a lot of participation from employees using the comments feature. Please feel free to read and share your own comments and thoughts. We really do want to hear how employees feel about their work-life resources at the Lab. We also have a guest author program. Although the comments are moderated, I have posted every one that has been submitted to me since we went live last Wednesday. I will post any comments negative or positive as long as it is in context with the topic, and not hateful or offensive. Similar to the rules in this forum here. Feel free to send me an email if you have any questions, and contact me if your comment does not appear the work day of submission. You can find my contact info on the FAQ tab of the Work-Life blog.

It does not solve the fundamental problems we have!

It may not solve the problems but if it gets the right people to listen and act it'll be worth it.

Are you really that naive? Too much in-breeding at LLNL has left an employee population that is extremely easy to dupe!

I saw the blog and don't see any topics that have to do with our work life. Television shows? What does that have to do with our work life? How about some candid discussions about why the employees are so unhappy? You don't have to post the mindless insults, but what about real useful suggestions that managers won't consider because it doesn't help them? Management puts in place policies that improve the lot of managers. They like it that way. And the managers may delude themselves if they wish, but that is why so many people are quiting. Just because you make a "happy" blog, that doesn't change what is going on and how people feel about their job. And if you don't take the suggestions anonymously, then you will get none. Retribution from managers is a well known at the lab.

This blog is unnecessary and not the answer to our problems. The best organizations in which I have worked had none of this nonsense. Those organizations had a mission, were managed by competent individuals who took care of their people, and all effort was focused on completing that mission.

The most successful years of LLNL were prior to ~1990. Anything that has been added since then is of questionable need and value.

No I am not. I wrote _IF_. It's a big if. I understand that. I also don't expect it to happen. But _IF_ they heard and acted accordingly wouldn't that be a good thing?

Plutonium Shots on NIF.

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.

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

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!
