Doesn't George also get several $100K directly from UC? Mike is making over $800K at LANL as both director and LANS President. I believe that George gets the same deal.
Here's what's on the website, but its not clear that the order is the same for both lists... I don't think Rachow makes more than Miller....
Top 5 Officer Compensations 441891.00, 663517.00, 264233.00, 332410.00, 867356.00
Top 5 Officers George H. Miller, President and CEO, Linda M. Rachow, CFO and Treasurer, Jeffery A. Blair, Secretary, Stephen A. Johnson, Contract Assurance Officer, Steven D. Liedle, Vice President
These figures include *all* salary sources being received by each lab director.
Now you know why the "for-profit" lab executives want to keep their jobs so badly. Lab executive salaries have exploded upward since the "for-profit" LLCs took over the NNSA research labs! This is disgusting stuff.
It's also interesting to note that the top 4 highest salaries listed are all associated with the NNSA labs. Heckavajob, Tom D'Agostino, you jerk.
And the director at LANL is still at $1.2M a years between his UC and LLNS pay. Isn't life wonderful at the top while they have nothing to distribute to the people that actually do the work meaning all those except ULM.
These clowns make all the money and do nothing. Since the LLNS take over LLNL been going down hill fast and I don't see where it's going to get any better
Would be nice if someone would podt the URL where these people salaries could be found for all to see instead of just posting some figure of which most of have no way to verify.
"NNSA contacted POGO to say that it reimbursed the lab directors at far less than the $684,181 [DOE contract mandated] cap, and provided these figures for the amounts that the Department of Energy contributes to certain lab directors salaries (with the rest coming from the private companies that share in the management of the labs): LANL's Michael Anastasio, $397,341; Lawrence Livermore National Lab's George Miller, $348,400; and Sandia's Tom Hunter, $366,119."
It is interesting to note that these Lab managers make many times the salaries of their customer. If you think the quality of Lab management is bad, just think what we would get if we hired at NNSA salaries.

The problem is not the salaries these people make! its the level of middle managers and lower level managers that staff the different directorates and institutes to meet a declining mission space. Adding to this are the programs and rules they have implemented to meet DOE requirements and minimize risk. So...less WFO and more staff. That is why the these specific National labs are dying, while the others are doing fine.

Technically correct....but they would still be cheaper! If you're going to get crap at least try not to pay top dollar for it.

These people are parasites. I have personally worked with them, and their value to the Lab is nil.
Yes, I am an inside manager who regrets the contract change and the influx of expensive managers who add nothing of value to our Lab.
Although he is doing well financially, I know that GM is agonizing over what this Lab has become. I used to work with him when times were different.

Could you image having senior managers like the clowns at LSO?
I'm sorry, but as bad as things are at LLNL, we do not have to deal with the intellectual midgets that work in B311.
