"This view corresponds to a common observation among LLNL managers and retirees following the change to a for-profit contract. They conclude that Bechtel was placing high priced managers at the Laboratory to give them a place to rest for several months between overseas contract assignments that would be important to their careers."
Guess this is why some people on this blog seem so happy with the Bechtel managers at LLNL or is it just the Bechtel people on the blog?

What kind of reporting is this? They basically ask a total lunatic his opinion? JFC is there no standard anymore? You can say a lot bad things about UC but firing Chris Mechels is not one of them, getting rid of that nutcase was a service to the nation, humanity and any possible sentient life forms in the universe.
