highly paid managers

After a work force reduction, why is llnl hiring new high paid managers that are on support dollars?

comment:
It is what they do when they need to get a big pay raise just prior to retirement. Please who needs any blue collar workers. Didn't you know that it's management who's the backbone of the lab and totally responsible for its success. I mean, come on, look around you.

This is an excellent question. When does LLNS release an overhead manager previously released from an overhead position. As an example, a former Jacobs Vice President now a NIF employee, who qualifies as a highly paid manager (>$250/yr) was released from position > 6 months ago has now resurfaced in F&I on a 3 month trial assignment. Given this employee was NIF's lead for instituting the new lab-wide construction contract, now viewed as The ACS Debacle, is positioned to award more design work to Jacobs when design services contracts are awarded. We lost our talent to voluntary retirement and replaced them with what?

If you think this is "the real problem," You are seriously deluded.

you are right, hiring a manager is not a problem. Since they get their salaries from project overhead tax, one can just make a small increase in all projects overhead and, voila, there is enough funding.

Speaking about hiring managers, does anyone know anything about the new hire, Dori Ellis, that was on Newsline last week ?

The NNSA labs are run like the Mafia. The highly compensated lab Directors are the Boss, the Directorate heads are the Consiglieris, the Division heads are the Capos and Group Leaders are the Mafia foot soldiers.

It's a corrupt system headed up by a bunch of "made men" who reward each other and who take the prime cuts right off the top of every dollar that passes in front of their noses. Any person who becomes a problem for this corrupt organization of "made men" is quickly "eliminated".

The top post should be "highly paid manglers."

I heard that a couple of people in the Materials Chemistry department (including Adam Rowen, the manager) at Sandia booked a trip using Sandia funds to Hawaii to attend the 2012 ECS meeting. That is definitely a waste!

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.

LLNL un-diversity

By scooby
Actual post from Dec. 15 from one of the streams. This is a real topic. As far as promoting women and minorities even if their qualifications are not as good as the white male scientists, I am all for it. We need diversity at the lab and if that is what it takes, so be it.  Quit your whining. Look around the lab, what do you see? White male geezers. How many African Americans do you see at the lab? Virtually none. LLNL is one of the MOST undiverse places you will see. Face it folks, LLNL is an institution of white male privilege and they don't want to give up their privileged positions. California, a state of majority Hispanics has the "crown jewel" LLNL nestled in the middle of it with very FEW Hispanics at all!
