Good reason. Prevents poor employees from making up false claims. How many of the whistleblowers are really justified in their claims ? Tell me.

Love the competent arguing. Not a shred of evidence or facts. Maybe this is Rick Perry.

You will never know unless you decide to find out (i.e., investigate).

Yep. Most important job in the complex. Rat. Not workers, not assurances, not oversight, but rat. Sympathy for the song bird.

Could you please make some sense?

He makes perfect sense. He'd like to be absolutely free to do whatever he likes, skirt any rule or regulation, make some money on the side, maybe sexually molest a coworker or two, without fear of consequence. If you've worked at the labs, you know they are full of people like that, many in upper management, held in check only by their fear of those who insist they play by the rules, and intend to see it so. Unfortunately for the rest of us, some have failed (yet) to develop that fear.

More FUD spread by the left fake news agencies. Bring some facts to the table and then we can talk. Until then, take your liberal rhetoric and stuff it.

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.

Rumor corner

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.
