Is employee morale improving, getting worse, or stabilizing at LANS and LLNS?

"Artificial harmony" at LANSLLNS about sums it up.

Well judging from conversations with workers at LANL this last week it seems that there has been a lift in morale ever since the news of the rebid has come out. Everyone seems to think it can only get better and so far the only people that appear to be disappointed by the news are Charlie, most PADs and some ADs, other than that everyone else seems to think this is great news even division leaders. This sort of says all you need to know about what an utterly messed up place LANL has become under LANS.

It's good to be optimistic, but when in the history of the DOE complex has anything ever gotten better? It's basically been a monotonic downhill slide ever since circa 1990.

Since 1992, when testing ended.

Morale pretty positive at LLNL. We'll quietly await 'side effects' from the LANL rebid.

At TA-55 there is NO Christmas! Not one ornament, fake tree, tinsel, light, card, etc. The Management there (Bob Mason and Stu McKernan) don't even speak to anyone unless it's to close out one of their PFITS or to get your ass handed to you in a Critique. In fact, Mason cancelled this year's TA-55 summer picnic; sad place TA-55/PF-4. Grinches!

I can tell you that morale at LANL has never been better under the crack management team of LANS/Bechtel. People whistle while they work, smile all the time and praise the executive managers to no end. The workers love what the for-profit management team has brought to the table. I also get loads of complements on my spiffy silk suits and Italian loafers!

With the news, that LANS does not get an extension, my personal morale at work skyrocketed. This is the optimist in me.
My pessimistic part tells me, that the next contractor wont be better.

But I can always hope. :)

This is exactly what people are saying. What a sick joke LANS is when workforce at the lab wants to the LANS to fail.

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...

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.

LLNL un-diversity

By scooby
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!
