Posting Title: NIF Landscape Manager
Job #: 009061

It is only a 50% time job, but I don't think the boys in B111 have a Landscape
Manager. If NIF doesn't work, they'll look good while going down.

I can't believe this! A starting salary of 6300.00 per month to do what?"advise, analyze, and recommend the procedures and practices required for the site to project a world class impression". I think, "WTF", is the appropriate response. I can see some lawns here and there but NIF looks like a effing arboretum. Management must agree since they find it necessary to hire a landscape manager. They have taken away all the tools we once had to do effective R and D in order to shrink the budget but there is enough money for a landscape manager.How sad.

I could do this job for free. Install a conveyor belt from Moses' office and use it to spread the endless supply of manure around the landscaped vistas at the NIF. Soon, everything will come up roses. I'll take my $6300.00 now.

Nice to know I lost my classified job (that took years of training) due to funding concerns, only to be replaced by a lawn care guy.
Maybe I should have learned garden care instead of computer science. Does MIT offer a lawn care degree? Maybe the government will offer a 'dumbing down' agenda retraining program for former computer scientists.

You actually meant the Laboratory, right?

Especially the OPS PAD; it is a cost center!

There are opening at the Lab now.
Comp seems to have an appetite for outsiders!

I too lost my job in the LANS nuclear weapon program to be reassigned to cleanup legacy nuclear waste. LANS management literally threw away my knowledge of nuclear weapons, classified files, clearance, and career (no longer careers at LANS) to meet their PBIs (aka money) at the waste facility. The priorities are now LANScaping, nuclear waste, demolition, and decommissioning.

I guess no one realized that when the LLCs took over the NNSA labs, the LLC abbreviation stood for "Lawn and Landscaping Care"!

Science and research? That's so 20th century. The future at the NNSA "labs" involves swell jobs like this one!

Isn't this the job posted & given specifically to a NIF Official friend w/benefits? who ended up crashing her car into the landscaping after a 3 martini lunch? and causing 60K in damages which couldn't be reported through proper channels because of the impropriety of the consensual relationship? Well, her firm would be making the money to replace that costly repair, adding a mere $60 onto a million bucks in landscaping is a drop in the bucket.

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!
