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 The exclusions were based on outdated job categories and related skills.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

And the band played on...
Precisely the non-cooperative attitude that has destroyed the labs. During the AEC days, and even the early ERDA and then DOE days, the attitude was "we are all in this together working for the same goal," even if plans and strategies differed. Now no one in the country wants to get along for any reason whatsoever, for any goal, no matter what. So now we all suck at being a country, and when the big one comes, we will lose, big, because we have lost the ability, and even the desire, to work together on anything. Suck it up, you assholes, if you continue this course, we will all go down together, as a demonstration of what happens when we refuse to work together. Wing-nuts all, you are assholes.
Partially right, but you failed to acknowlegde that it is yourself which has been the true problem all along. You see too many sucky dumb ass low life idiotic losers somehow got in their heads that they are great and brilliant people and when life Godsmacked their sorry asses they could not take it and then tried destroying the system. They say that that there is no truth, no right or wrong, no such thing as excellence, and that everyone is equal or should be equal, everything is unearned anyway so no one can be an expert or to be trusted. You and your kind seek to destroy all that is good or has value. The truth is no matter what the system is, people with your attitude are the ones that are guaranteed to go down, either you go down alone or you drag others with you but no matter what you are going down. Oddly enough it is the knowledge that you know that your are going down which has given you some power because now you are so bitter, twisted and evil that you have no reason to change and care not about the consequence of your actions. It is sad but history as shown how common it is.
Man you are really sick. I said nothing like that and until you attacked my post for no rational reason, you and I might have actually agreed, but no, you can't possibly agree with anyone since you are completely mentally insane. You are correct and everyone else, everywhere in the universe is wrong. I guess that you are the "shut up and do what you are told" guy who nevertheless rejects all forms of management. See any contradiction there?
Your insane rant just shows that someone just touched a nerve. Look we have heard from you enough over the many years to get what you are all about and I am guessing from your negative reaction you are also somewhat aware of what you are. I guess it is too late for you to ever change and your are a lost cause, however maybe you can at least try not to drag others down with you. Let it go, LANL, New Mexico, USA, world, solar system, Milky way, local group, galaxy cluster, mega galaxy cluster, universe, multiverse and so on are not the reason you have not lived up to what you thought you should be, that is on you and you alone.

You should know.

I concede that you have much better knowledge on this subject.
