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!

I think it is interesting that this fellow was fired from Los Alamos way back in 1988. He's been out of the loop for many years. It was a very different world at the weapon labs back then. In particular, security was much more lax back in the 1980s.
Feeling testy because you didn't get your usually 20% bonus this year, Bret Knapp? How's that?

Typical response by trolls on this blog. There is no need to "blame" anyone. Except possibly the accused, if the offense is indeed charged and proven. Until then, why not exercise some restraint in your rabid need to blame someone? You sound very angry and very focused on some perceived slight. Mmybe you aren't as important as you think you are?

Clearly this guy has not felt the wrath of Knapp. Someday day brother, some day. Only explanation is this is Knapp himself or his buddy Craig Leasure.

Or perhaps just a more calm, rational, uninflamed person? If you hate your upper management so much, why not work somewhere else? Oh, can't find another job? Unemployable outside the LANL cradle? Too bad for you. Bad career choices. Didn't you know everyone has to deal with asshole bosses sometimes? Didn't learn how? Man, the LANL employee whining on this LLNL blog is getting tiresome. Guess that's why Doug quit the LANL blog and no one wanted to take it over. Sad.
