A bonus for not having sent an exploding drum to WIPP. Well deserved Livermore, well deserved.

Good to see that at least one NNSA lab likes to share the wealth with all their employees.

Nothing like a wonderful Cat 3 Laboratory at Cat 1 pay.

LLNL management clearly knows how to run a national lab. Can't say the same for LANL which is simply unmanageable. The bad entitlement welfare-grubbing behavior seen at the "first" weapons lab... no wonder why things are so bad there. You can replace the top level management as well as the entire LANS board, and it is still a screwed up place.

You've apparently forgotten that most of LANL management IS LLNL management.

Kudos do those who received a bonus a raise and still remain employed.

this bonus was given for the employees contribution to the successful year at the Lab. but if you notice those with a CBA were excluded are they not a contributing part of the performance of this LAB?

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.

Why Workplace Jargon Is A Big Problem

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.
