Money went to NIF with NNSA's concurrence-Employees were sacrificed why do you think NIF was excluded from the RIF? What is missing from the report is yearly carryover -possibly even more than 280 million was diverted for the great laser project.

During transition LLNS was given extra money to pay the salaries of the so called 30 managers. Extra money was sent from DOE for all the new transition activities to adjust the newly formed for profit LLC to privatization. This money was over and above already allocated operating dollars. GAO should investigate and if found to have committed fraud, management should pay a heavy price. Not the remaining workers who as each day pass worry more and more about their jobs.

At the rate this country is falling down the abyss, none of the three labs will be around in 5-10 years. We are in a death spiral, and the gov. is too polarized and corrupt to care. The LLC knows it, so they are "getting theirs" before the cards fall.

Strap in, the ride is going top get a lot bumpier.

...and they cried, "Let the hunger games begin!"

There is fraud all over this county, from the foreclosed homes across the land , all the way up to, and including, those in charge in the White house.

If you feel mistreated, act on it. Give management a rough road. Wait for justice and it simply will not happen.

Recipe for disaster, if you care about your career and your family. No "act on it" advice can ever result in anything good. The good advice is just get out. Now. No need to suffer one more day. Just get the hell out of the toxic environment, because you can't fix it.

There's only one problem with the GAO. It's the Government. Both the GAO and DOE-IG are worthless organizations. Nothing ever becomes of their reports they write other than end up in a land fill or in fireplaces.

Comments here went from 9 to 8 last night. Scooby's censorship button at work, without explanation or reason, as usual. His "editorial" attention is killing the free expression of ideas and feelings on this blog. No posts I've seen cross his "rules" stated on the front page. Scooby. just go away already. (Here comes the "don't let the door hit you..." reply.)

I hope everyone that got paid off durng the transition at LLNL sues LLNS for every dime they have, get their jobs back with full credit for all the years lost, all those years are applied to their UC pension and they retire shortly thereaafter. That should cost LLNS a few hundred million dollars and put teir ausses in the street looking for a bandaid.

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.

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...

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 ...
