Dear Dr. Chu,
Welcome to LLNL. Look closely. Too bad it isn't what you expected.
Ask George why he thinks costs are going up only 4%,when his pricing tools show 10%.
Ask him if Russo and Liedle serve him as well as Kuckuck and Mara served Anastasio.
Ask his why he degraded engineering from two strong independent departments to a single weak job-shop.
Ask him why his people are so demoralized.
Ask him why he put a 150% tax on travel costs.
Ask him what DoE get from Bechtel for $40M per year? Where is the new accounting system, where is the promised project management system?
Ask him why he lies to his employees so regularly.
Ask him why the Bechtel business operations folks make declarations without bothering to leave their offices to see how things work.
Ask him how he can retroactively bill sponsors for rate increases for work that was contracted for at a lower rate?
Ask him why he hasn't aplogized publically for the "substantially equivalent in the aggregate" lie.
Ask him why employees who know him think that he is a self-absorbed blow hard.
Ask him to resign.
Thank you,
Technical staff

Include this question ...
What was the Lab's budget before ISP ? What's the Lab's budget after ISP (with 2000 fewer employees) ? Next question: where did all the extra money (saved from the 2000 fewer employees) went ?
Chu won't ask him anything.
The only reason for his visit was politics and PR. Why would he talk about energy problems at LLNL? He must know we have no meaningful role in that area.
We brought in a highly paid outsider several yaars ago to grow an energy program. What ever happened to JL?
We no longer have a directorate with the work "Energy" in it.
Oh, yes, LIFE is death also.

"with 2000 fewer employees where did all the extra money went? (go??)"
EXTRA??? Puhleeeze, what extra???
Can we say:
1-Bechtel pockets :-) some "bodies" HAD to pay their extortionist fee!!!
2-LLNS UL Managers!!!!
3-GM!!!!!
They ARE getting MY paycheck (now that I am ISP'd) to live high on the hog (per say) while I watch the bank reposes my home!!!!!!!
But just like the economic 'bubble bursting' this too will burst for them!!!!!
Some employees at LLNL are deluded. It is clear that Dr. Chu could care less about what happens to the new "for-profit" managed NNSA labs.
How long will it take before employees finally grasp that simply fact? It's over. Move on if you can. Bitching loudly to DOE won't change a thing at this point.
