LLNS may have excluded the wrong people in last VSSOP? The exclusions were based on outdated job categories and related skills. ULM are now thinking that in the future, job categories and functional areas will have to be re-defined. The next VSSOP/ISP will be based on the new categories and functional areas. The questions I have are: 1) Why didnt they think of that before the transition. It seems like their style is “change things as you go”. Planning is out the window! 2) Who will give input on the new changes? The next RIF apparently is going to be more lucrative than the VSSOP. Depending on the length of employment, a RIFed person, not only gets their 1 week pay per year of service but also from 30 to 120 days notice, essentially 30 to 120 days pay. Please feel free to comment on the rumors or add new ones you actually heard.

Nothing ever comes of it.
How sad.

Does Knapp have a fireplace in Los Alamos? This begs the question if he has a house in Los Alamos? Certainly he can burn the report in his house "at Livermore".
It's amazing to think that someone with Brett Knapp's poor credentials is already being allowed to lead the LANL weapons directorate into the ground as the nuclear weapons Principal Associated Director (PAD).
This is a man who can barely conceal his disdain of all things labeled 'Los Alamos'. He doesn't even bother to practice the McMillan illusion of owning a home here or staying around over the weekends. He hates the place!
Wallace??? You're kidding right? Do you even know who his mother was?

Knapp makes "no bones" about "being forced to come to work at Los Alamos". However, every evening he get's-off revving his Porsche to make himself feel better.
