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 The exclusions were based on outdated job categories and related skills.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

Did get the e-mail saying that "high attendance at this talk was suggested strongly".
It's my understanding that they wanted to avoid a tantrum similar to the one that Mark Martinez had when he went to RHWM for a "meet and greet" and nobody showed up.

It's gotten worse. He's has a confessional in his office for the Lab Directors to confess their sins (e.g. McMillans's WIPP muff) to him. McMillan has 10 rosaries and had to give Cook his fine Italian leather belt.
