Okay children, listen up. How's 1.5% to distribute, retroactive to Jan 1st, 2010 _NOT_ Oct 1st, 2009, and NO raise cards to be distributed. However on Feb 18th you'll be able to log onto LAPIS and see how much you're worth. LLNS not only made millions of dollars by delaying your raises by three months but they "did you", with one big stroke of the pen. Assuming I got the max of 1.5% it still was not enough to cover my increased cost for medical and state tax. This has been three years in a row so no wonder my disposable income at the end of the month has been diminishing. Do you think LLNS is telling us all a story here?

Still want to give LLNS 100%? -- I DFTS.

LLNS didn't make anything on this - it was done by NNSA.

Sorry - I believe that you believe what you say. However, let me shine a little light your way. It's ALL about bonuses and profit and NOTHING else

I think 4:15PM got it right. First off, this timing was at NNSA's instigation and for instance, Sandians will also not get their raise notification until the new year. (I have no knowledge as to it being retroactive to Oct 1st for them.) Second, the raise "package" is not a distinct packet of funding sent to LLNL. It's just permission from NNSA for the Lab to spend X percent more on salaries as opposed to procurement, facilities, etc. It's not like anything LLNL doesn't spend one way or another, LLNS gets to keep as additional profit. Quite often major programs carry over tens of megabucks across fiscal year boundaries. Those funds do not suddenly gets plopped into a profit bucket. It's still there for the program in the new fiscal year.

Yeah, 1.5% if you're lucky. In my case that will not cover the medical cost increase, the state tax increase, the cost of gas, food, electric, car registration, and for sure will not cover the new and approved change to come known as national health care which by the way is going to cost you dearly. It will not be free. In my case I would need a 25% (after tax) increase effective immediately to stay afloat. It's bad enough now to where I had to cancel my land line today so I can have enough to pay for the food we'll consume at Christmas..Afterward it's help retain my PBJ brown bag lunch I bring daily. Thanks LLNS and ULM..

Sandia's raises are not retroactive to Oct 1. We got 0.9% avg. Management is structuring non-base and base salary so that nobody has a decrease in total compensation, therefore everyone stays the same.

I now am hearing the 1.5% to all classifications such as 100, 200, 300 and 400 has changed. It seems they're as low as .5% for one classifications and as high as 3.2% for another. Anyone have the real number for each classification so we can see who got boned?

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.

LLNL un-diversity

By scooby
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!
