Who still gets all pumped up ?

Other than the financial aspects...will anyone shed a tear at being let go from either of the labs (I'm not slighting the others it's just that this has been primarily a LLNL/LANL discussion)?

Who still gets all pumped up making the drive in in the morning?

Hey, our traffic is enough to pump up the living dead. Anticipation of the workday, not so much.

If you are so unhappy then quit, so that those of us who need to support our families won't get laid off. It's people like you who just complain about how bad you have it and don't desire to put any real work in.

I do! I get to do interesting engineering work on a best-in-the-world facility. I get to work with interesting and dynamic people who also enjoy their work. I get to learn new things all the time. I get to help younger engineers learn how to apply their knowledge, and I learn from them new (modern) approaches and tools. I get paid pretty well, and I have a decent pension coming.

I've heard the same old negative comments for 25 years. It probably is a bit less fun that it used to be, but it's still damn good.

Queue up the comments about how I'm drunk, on drugs, ignorant of reality, and sure to be first in line for a RIF.

If you don't like it then secure a prime position in lab management. Then you'll be treated like royalty!
