If you go to non-work related web sites during work hours, you should be fired. No questions asked, You are a slacker.

Last time I checked (before I retired), LLNL employees where allowed a reasonable personal use of their Lab computers (over lunch, for example), as long as it was not related to an outside business (like as a Realtor). Checking on medical appointments, Doctor communications, lab test results, medical related web sites, OK. Also sites related to non-profits (Church, Scouts, City Counsel, Community Groups) and hobbies OK.

11:31 - it used to be that way, but I have been told by current employees of the lab now blocking a great deal of sites, such as YouTube. Certainly that video site has nothing to do with outside business, but it and blogs do have the capability to convey messages that upper management will not like.

From a legal point, I believe that LANS has forsaken any semblance of being a Common Carrier and lost the protections that status is granted. Which means now that any dubious message that enters or leaves llnl.gov could result in legal action against the lab.

Actually YouTube does have relevance to LLNL business. Many vendor training aids, technical information and similar videos are put on YouTube.

LANS runs Los Alamos. LLNS runs Livermore. Neither is or was common carrier.

That is quite obvious, 6:56. Being a CC would have allowed them to avoid certain classes of legal action. Instead they have chosen to censor. Most likely anyone who now complains is merely fired.

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.

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...

Rumor corner

By scooby
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.
