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 The exclusions were based on outdated job categories and related skills.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

It is time to get serious about the tremendous opportunities. We have to keep it for profit and we have to set the terms of of the contract. There could be more money than ever for less work than ever! There could be more positions that ever, PAD, SPAD, SUPADS, ULTRPADS, and SPECIAL Centurions positions. New offices, cars, travel, a LANL plane or helicopter, a managers only on site club, a special building in DC for month long stays, more retreats, chauffeur service, extra staff to meet manager needs, 8 level bonus systems, regular bonus, term bonus, achievement bonus, buddy bonus, year one bonus, year N bonus, double bonus and OT8 bonus. Also a new buy in session where people can pay extra money to learn the secrets of success at LANL. How about a LANL cruise ship for summer long manager retreats, SS Hubris. Clothing allowances, you have to look like manager before you are a manager, monthly manager team gurus like Tony Robbins, fire walking, transcendental meditation, manager yoga, a managers only car port, and visualize success programs where the s is spelled $. They sky is the limit but do you have the guts to go for it?
Yes it is time to get serious for those who are serious about winning. Are you in or are you out! NNSA has no idea what they are doing and are looking for someone anyone for guidance. The winning bid team can be the leader that the NNSA needs and the leader can set his/her own terms, now is the time to act before this deal expires. The last contract change taught us that big money can be made and the ultimate lesson learned is that even bigger money can be made this time around so lest go for it!
