The management is so bad!

The management is so bad. Whenever I have a bad day I type into google something about bad management and LLNL managers, who are effectively EBA, fit all the criteria. I usually apply for 10-15 jobs a week and I still out perform everyone around me.
They never put their buddies on the EBA list. I just pray I get out of this place.
WARNING: DO NOT GO INTO SCIENCE.

God may grant your wish with a heart attack. May I suggest you just find a new company instead.

The Directorate management that I am under is NOT bad. They genuinely work hard "to make Programs suceed through people and technology". Yep, they're only human, so mistakes are made - that doesn't make them bad managers. And yes, I also appreciate the SMC...

Why judge management on such a personal level. Look at the big picture. The Lab population has declined 25% since the contract, our biggest program (which robbed overhead from all others) NIF cannot meet its objectives because it is based on poor science. REal salary is declining becasue of bogus benefits programs and phony claims of efficiency which was to pay for them. Keep it simple, no need to go have heart attacks, or squabble, just be content with the facts. Love it or leave is, indeed, a fair response, but no need to debate the quality of our management. It is a given.

Yep, it's Rechtal whose motto has been long before LLNL was taken over, "Seek and Destroy". This was told to all of you during the transition when there was more than 1000 questions asked and answered but many said, NO it all BS, they aren't that bad. Well, you lose as we told you back then and you'll continue to lose. Hang in their and please don't die for those MF'r. Rechtal is not worth it.

I used to think the Dilbert comic was just for laughs. Now I release it's actually an accurate biography about the managers at the NNSA labs!

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.

Why Workplace Jargon Is A Big Problem

By scooby
From the Huffington Post Why Workplace Jargon Is A Big Problem http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/04/25/work-words_n_5159868.html?utm_hp_ref=business&ir=Business When we replace a specific task with a vague expression, we grant the task more magnitude than it deserves. If we don't describe an activity plainly, it seems less like an easily achievable goal and more like a cloudy state of existence that fills unknowable amounts of time. A fog of fast and empty language has seeped into the workplace. I say it's time we air it out, making room for simple, concrete words, and, therefore, more deliberate actions. By striking the following 26 words from your speech, I think you'll find that you're not quite as overwhelmed as you thought you were. Count the number that LLNLs mangers use.  touch base circle back bandwidth - impactful - utilize - table the discussion deep dive - engagement - viral value-add - one-sheet deliverable - work product - incentivise - take it to the ...
