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 The exclusions were based on outdated job categories and related skills.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

Better yet, he should give all women on his payroll an automatic 1% raise.
There's been some comments on other streams that they are given preferential treatment.
Or is this topic just too sensitive?
Example: A male with the equivalent qualifications of the the last engineering AD, would have never moved up the ladder to become the engineering AD.
Women, please comment.
Adam Rowen a former manager of the Materials Chemistry Department at Sandia Livermore does not have a Ph.D. either.
The 3 individuals at Sandia are the first ever Vice Presidents without a Ph.D. in Science or Engineering to lead technical divisions at Sandia. A quick search on the internet shows that Adam Rowen went to a school in New Mexico.
Steve Renfro deputy AD Nuclear Weapons, BS without PhD (also comes from a New Mexico school)
One spent all her time studying for the next step up, did absolutely minimal or less work, and would never answer a technical question.
Either because she didn't know, didn't know how to look it up, or was just too lazy.
After a while, people would no longer ask, went to a "real" 200.
In California, you must be registered to use the term Engineer for many disciplines.
But the Law of the Land stops at the fence, and was ignored. Or people were titled Specialist, instead.
When LLNS took over the female so called Leader who was "just helping her protege" was forced out the door.
Don't know what happened to the up and coming lady.
Do you?
Does this happen with LLNS?
