UTPE/SPSE meeting

By scooby
Today, 2/28, Jeff Colvin, on behalf of UTPE and SPSE presented the same presentation he did in January in front of the National Academy of Science. He provided guidelines the commissions, newly formed to audit LLNL and LANL management by the LLCs, should be looking for. More on this later.
I asked SPSE/UTPE to make the presentation available to this BLOG.
As of 3/2/2011 8:12PM: no reply.

Would it be possible for Jeff to post this presentation on the UPTE/SPSE Web Site?

If the (non) response by UPTE/SPSE is any indication of how a union will represent or not represent LANS/LLNS employees I would not be interested in joining. Furthermore, It appears they went forward on this to the National Academy without any feedback. Colvin is just representing his own ego and own views.

Don't fill out the "INFORMATION ONLY" cards no matter what BS they tell you.

It's a typical union fib.
It means your voting to join a union.

Unless you want to be a drone.

Also in Michigan all the home daycare workers were sent these cards.
When they filled out their information and returned them they (unknowingly) were voting to join a union.

Now the union takes out dues from the government portion of their pay (if a kids daycare is subsidized).

In my opinion all unions are that corrupt.

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.

Why Workplace Jargon Is A Big Problem

By scooby
From the Huffington Post Why Workplace Jargon Is A Big Problem http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/04/25/work-words_n_5159868.html?utm_hp_ref=business&ir=Business When we replace a specific task with a vague expression, we grant the task more magnitude than it deserves. If we don't describe an activity plainly, it seems less like an easily achievable goal and more like a cloudy state of existence that fills unknowable amounts of time. A fog of fast and empty language has seeped into the workplace. I say it's time we air it out, making room for simple, concrete words, and, therefore, more deliberate actions. By striking the following 26 words from your speech, I think you'll find that you're not quite as overwhelmed as you thought you were. Count the number that LLNLs mangers use.  touch base circle back bandwidth - impactful - utilize - table the discussion deep dive - engagement - viral value-add - one-sheet deliverable - work product - incentivise - take it to the ...
