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 The exclusions were based on outdated job categories and related skills.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.

That's short sighted on their part, but obvious.
1. MANAGEMENT AND HUMAN RESOURCE ABUSIVE.
2. NO BOTTOM LINE = THEY CAN DO WHAT THEY WANT AND YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR IT.
3. THE BOTTOM LINE IS LEAVE AND MOVE ON.
CONGRESS DOES NOT CARE. OTHERWISE THEY WOULD INVESTIGATE.
VOTE BY LEAVING AND DO NOT LOOK BACK
NO ONE CARES AND THEY (MANAGEMENT) KEEPS SAYING EMPLOYEES ARE HAPPY. THEY LIVE IN DENIAL.
LISTEN VERY CLOSELY I ONLY KNOW ONE PERSON WHO IS HAPPY.
"didn't the Labs lose track of almost $1B at the Labs?"
No.
Where do you get this crap?
We're no more than tools, buildings and fixtures to them, and they now have a name for it.
An McMillan wonders why his mid-career employees are leaving for better offers. Because there are better offers, and they can.
Employees have been told and shown that they are disposable commodities, and the Labs have no commitment to them under the 401(k) TCP-2 system. It's easy to go somewhere else with no golden handcuffs. And these other places actually allow people to work without hordes of lab bureaucrat minions and NNSA dunces micromanaging every aspect of their attempted work.

Absolutely true, but that doesn't matter to the "blame LLNL management first" crowd.

Now who's the troll??

The Sandia article says: " Timothy Shepodd (8223) liked the moniker and agreed to call it the “chili cookoff.” But there was no chili involved, and the only “cooking” had to do with the kind of chemicals not usually found on Sandia grounds. "
