Gross miscalculation?

Did Anyone else read in the "Daily Clips" Monday, that between Sandia & LLNL they will be hiring 500 employees due to the expected number of employees that will be naturally retiring?
I think what really is going on is they just now figured out they laid off too many outstanding employees and won't have the correct talent available come 2012!!!

400 managers to create additional regulations and procedures for mere mortals doomed to die.

90 special managers at large to come up with newer and dumber ways to waste money in their halls of fine stone.

9 new ADs to ride fell beasts, swooping down to snatch anyone with talent and then drop the to their death ( professionally ).

1 moron to rule them all and in the darkness bind them.

Well all I can say is "I'll believe it when I see it"....

To date I have yet to see them do as they 'promise/say'...!!

So, will they begin to re-call some VERY good FTE folks who were let go due and only due to the seniority factor.

I personally was let go because I promoted "too fast and could not compete with seniority".

And before I get 'slammed' with negative feedback, I do have 11 years worth of PA's to back that one.

My last classification served I had 6 years of service....via fell into the low numbers of those being ISP'd.

This currently unemployed ISP'd would greatly enjoy the opportunity to work once again-the employer doesn't matter at this point, what does matter is becoming once again gainfully employed and taking pride in a full days work for a full days pay!!!

Sandia has announced that they intend to hire 80 people for the California site in the next year. I don't know about the New Mexico site.

I hope they hire back those layed off first. They were good quality people for the most part. Yes, PA's were altered to shift people around as layoff candidates.

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.

Why Workplace Jargon Is A Big Problem

By scooby
From the Huffington Post Why Workplace Jargon Is A Big Problem http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/04/25/work-words_n_5159868.html?utm_hp_ref=business&ir=Business When we replace a specific task with a vague expression, we grant the task more magnitude than it deserves. If we don't describe an activity plainly, it seems less like an easily achievable goal and more like a cloudy state of existence that fills unknowable amounts of time. A fog of fast and empty language has seeped into the workplace. I say it's time we air it out, making room for simple, concrete words, and, therefore, more deliberate actions. By striking the following 26 words from your speech, I think you'll find that you're not quite as overwhelmed as you thought you were. Count the number that LLNLs mangers use.  touch base circle back bandwidth - impactful - utilize - table the discussion deep dive - engagement - viral value-add - one-sheet deliverable - work product - incentivise - take it to the ...
