If we don't describe an activity plainly, it seems less like an easily achievable goal and more like a cloudy state of existence that fills unknowable amounts of time. A fog of fast and empty language has seeped into the workplace. I say it's time we air it out, making room for simple, concrete words, and, therefore, more deliberate actions.

Exactly, it is the fault of the workers, only the workers and always the workers. The management has nothing to do with it and the only thing to do now is to cover themselves. Make no mistake outside world it is the workers bad behavior, managers have no say in this, no way to stop this, no way to be accountable, do not own this, where never present and no nothing of this. They are not there and have nothing to do with LANL, so when anything goes wrong the managers are not at fault or have anything to do with it. So if in the future you run into someone who was a manager at LANL do not judge their reputation on the performance of LANL, they are not to blame and had no idea what could be going on, they have no idea so they are innocent and know nothing.
