unemployment for ssvsp ers

It's been over a month since the majority of SSVSP folks departed. Has anyone been able to draw unemployment? Any other issues arise?

The word is none of them will get unemployment if they didn't lie on their application. They left on their won for the $$'s and therefore are disqualified. They can appeal it but will lose.

Feels great to finally be free of that bureaucratic cesspool of mismanagement. Could care less about getting any unemployment payments. My sanity and health is worth far more to me than the few extra bucks I could make by continuing to put up with the stupefying policies, sense of hopelessness and the soul-sucking low morale that was infecting most areas of the lab.

Free, free, I'm free at last! However, I do feel sorry for those left behind who plan on holding out for a few more years. It's only going to get worse for most of them, I fear.

What is left behind can be summed up as "pandemic apathy"

Count yourself lucky that you are able to take that SSVSP offer! Many people would like to do it but financially cannot afford to take it. The people who left behind some feel lucky because they get bigger title and assume more work to enhance their prestige at the workplace. Some fall into office politics and being subjected to the immediate supervisor who can play favor and hire younger people to take over the older's people work!

They are getting away with murder because those left behind are fearful for losing their own jobs and afraid to speak up!

Remember HR changed the policy regarding lay off from the beginning of this year? Each Directorate can lay off people up to 50 for lack of funding and LLNL does not have to file the WARN Act. Thus your job is subject to your immediate supervisor! If he likes you, you are safe! If he doesn't be on the watch out! And maybe time to consult an attorney!.

Plutonium Shots on NIF.

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.

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

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!
