Freedom for "Excluded" Workers at LANS

By scooby
Today is the first day (1/7/13) that "excluded" workers at LANS were eligible to apply for other jobs. We had been prohibited for doing so for 1-year since the last VRIP. Note also that LANS did a great job during the past year to ensure that we will remain in these "crappy" jobs (e.g. Facility Engineers) into the future, since there are virtually no open job advertisements for Regular Employees at LANL. I'm also posting this to give folks at LLNL and SNL a heads-up on what is coming your way. Hecka of job LANS leading the way, hecka of job!

You got a mop?
You got a bucket?
You got a Top Secret clearance?
You got a MS in nuclear engineering?

Get to work and start cleaning the floors. That just about sums up this bleak situation.

I was hoping LLNL would offer a VSIP with a 3 & 3 and drop the population of the lab by 50% leaving the jobs to the young who need them for another 30-50 years since they will not have a retirement plan of any sort. What is wrong with all these people at the top that get paid big bucks to make decissions. I could do this in my sleep, one arm behind my back and in a micro-second. Gee

The whole reason that LANS had to force workers into "crappy" facility jobs is to work for the absolutely BRUTAL and SADISTIC Facility Operations Directors (FODs) that LANS Upper Management have installed, such as Hugh McGovern at WETF and Steve Henry at Waste programs, both Navy "pukes"! These guys might be making some things happen at these facilities, but they are rolling out workers in body-bags and in straight-jackets. Go for it LANS!

Navy "ring-knockers" have infiltrated large areas of upper management at LANL. They work to elevate their own people while treating the rest of the long time staff very poorly. Many of these new managers come into the lab via the wide-open "Bechtel Doorway". What a scam!

LANS has no problem with this model, it's another effective way of eliminating the staff, whether they are in rubber bags with a zipper or canvas with a leather belt on it.

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.

Rumor corner

By scooby
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.
