LLNS may have excluded the wrong people in last VSSOP? The exclusions were based on outdated job categories and related skills. ULM are now thinking that in the future, job categories and functional areas will have to be re-defined. The next VSSOP/ISP will be based on the new categories and functional areas. The questions I have are: 1) Why didnt they think of that before the transition. It seems like their style is “change things as you go”. Planning is out the window! 2) Who will give input on the new changes? The next RIF apparently is going to be more lucrative than the VSSOP. Depending on the length of employment, a RIFed person, not only gets their 1 week pay per year of service but also from 30 to 120 days notice, essentially 30 to 120 days pay. Please feel free to comment on the rumors or add new ones you actually heard.

I dont know exactly what but you will see some Flexs let go by March, if what I heard is correct.
Heartless? This is the way Rechtel does business.
If they had waited till after the holidays, these people would have been paid for at least 4 days they had off, plus several days when no one at the Lab was really working anyway.
Should something happen, I hope the City of Livermore forgives LLNL.
Merry Christmas Livermore.
Get out if you can. There are much better and saner research institutions than the dieing NNSA weapon labs. Why keep working hard to put money into Riley Bechtel's family bank account?
Or perhaps he meant that there would be no layoffs for upper managers.
Possibly he thought we were not listening. Given the numbers of empty seats in the B123 auditorium when he gives his talks, perhaps we aren't listening anymore.
If the truth we to be told...well I guess we'll never know about that, will we?
Could you name places where this has happened?
Almost every place they have set their hands on. Use Google if you know how and check out their track record. This facts been known since the transition took place. I wouldn't expect much from these people at all, except the boot after they abuse you to the max.
I do remember at one of the NIF's all hands meeting with EM he said, "we will continue to lay off 10% a year as long as NIF exist". No good news with that comments for anyone under 62 years old.
I'm very accomplished with computers and Google - but haven't had any luck.
You seem to know about this things, so please provide specifics.
Thanks in advance.
Took me less than 60 seconds, including the time to post it here.
Bechtel Layoffs
And there you have it Rechtal doing what it does best. There will be more to come in about a year or less. I wonder if that's what Brotha GM is going to drop on us this week with his all hands or is it more of telling us how great LLNL came out on it score so Rechtal can get their $89M + for doing such as SH job of screwing us over.
