Heard a good rumor today but I doubt there's any substance to it, but with Miller's talk coming tomorrow it may be a good question to ask. We're hearing LLNL has taken a 25% cut in this years budget. With 8,000 employees, they'd have to cut 2,000 people by April 2010 to balance the budget. Wouldn't that be a kick in the butt...

Lets see if you cut 2000 from 4000 that gives you 2000 employees left. Go back an drink more ulm kool aid
I thought there were 6000 employees left at LLNL since the layoffs. Can anyone substantiate the current lab population stats?
..someone with no real knowledge of the lab starts a layoff rumor.
No need to drink ulm coolaid. There's a lot more then 4,000 that work here. I think there's 6,454 but the graph still shows 8,000 as of Sept of last year, so 2,000 could easily go without a glitch.

You need to learn where to look for the facts son. There's more then 6000 warm bodies at LLNL. The last #'s as of Sept of 2009 was closer to 8000. If we canned 4000 more we'd still be good to go especially if 90% of them was ULM.
Dont worry folks! As soon as the economy gets back on track, LLNL campus will look like an old folks home full people on cruise control.
Better economy spells the death of LLNL.
And if the economy does not improve the lab will still shutdown. So really, it does not matter.
Who was the person who asked the last question at Miller's talk, who left Miller looking so embarrassed? It had to do with the de-inventory of Pu and then his work on the Smart Water Grid. I didn't understand his question entirely. Any info out there?
I believe if you re-watch the web broadcast the gentleman identifies himself at the beginning of his question. I'm glad to hear it was the last question, as I clicked the stop button about half way through.
