I'd like to hear about the raises again. Did anyone quit over the poor raises, or are they taking it in stride? Are people working less, or putting in resumes to other corporations? Anyone file an administrative review over a zero raise? Any luck?

The raises do not match the praises.
$200 which for me comes out to .5% if they don't tax the extra two hundred. and believe me i have work my ass off these two years and all I ever want is some recognition meaning bin 2 and 1% percent raise. Got neither. It's hard to destroy my self-motivational way but they are starting to succeed.
Why should anyone be surprised by the ultra-low raises? Just wait and see what they have planned for your future benefits!
Net result: loss of .75%!!!!
As soon as the job market improves, the 20-40 somethings will have to be complete goofs to stay!
We have seen that happen during the dot com boom. LLNL scrambled to offer incentives to stop the bleeding and lure some of those who left!
"People are our most important asset"
sooner or later will disappear from the HR language because there is nothing to back that up!
"People are just another commodity" sounds more truthful!
Considering the raises that go into management, you shouldn't be surprised that you didn't get the "bring in" if you're not in Group 1.
(2) LANS made a big deal about the ultra-low ratings for this fall's morale ("Engagement") survey, telling staff they would be rolling out big changes to "fix it" by early February. It's now March, and just as with the TCP1 contributions, nothing has really been said or done about it. It's all been swept under the rug and conveniently forgotten.
The for-profit corporate types now running the NNSA "science" labs are sucking the life out of the place with their extremely poor management. The only thing they care about are PBI metrics for safety and security so they can make their big bonuses.
No one left at LANL trust these guys and gals anymore. They only thing they have offered as a "fix" for the low morale is a new PR campaign launched with lots of fake happy faces.
Do you really think anyone is going to post how they really feel at the LLNL work life blog? These are people making points in hopes to be the director someday. Typical CEO material.
The 'best of the best' staff seem to be fleeing with increasing urgency of late, not that the lab's upper management team seems to care one bit about any of this.
