CIP


  1. Any word on the package the labs submitted to DOE for approval

Each lab submits its own package. Hard to imagine it will be a lucrative year.

It's an election year with the Administration's party under siege. Prepare for zero as a token gesture of fiscal responsibility.

The DOD is currently given out thousands of pink slips to highly qualified military officers because of the lack of funds for defense. Some of these officers are getting the pink slips while stations over in the war zones of Afghanistan.

Given this bleak outlook, why would the pay raises for people working at the NNSA labs be expected to go up by any significant amount? This is an era of defense cutbacks and reduced expectations.

Then the lab should not submit a CIP package.

Under your theory workers only get a raise when everyone else, everywhere else, gets a raise.

Does that include the llc management pay raise & bonus too? Dose that include all government employees?

Who else is included in your model besides the lower end workers?

Remember, a CIP for LLNL could result in a severe cut in Obama's green fee reserves. Get your priorities in order.

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!
