Who are the front runners for the LLNL SHRM AD opening?

Rene as acting AD has the inside track. I believe that a senior HR VP from a UC campus or UCOP may also be on the short list. After the first LLNS appoint SHRM AD was a complete and total disaster - while being an Astronaut is very impressive, it does't qualify you to run an HR Department (even if you try remaining it to a very derogatory title of "Human Capital" organization... what are employees cattle?).

Art pulled LLNS out of an HR disaster, having a qualified and well respected HR professional running the HR organization seems like a no-brainer and easy lift for UCOP and B111.

After the transition to LLNS in 2007, a steady erosion of employee value and employee benefits occurred where now employees are treated like "cattle" or replacable commodities. Did SHRM under the leadership of Art Wong, push back on that trend or help implement it?

Art helped implement it. There is no "pushing back" in the LLNS world, you will promptly be re-assigned to obscurity, lies and humiliation until you retire or quit, a very well managed quietly implemented hostile environment..

That's the Bechtel way, all managers and smart employees know it. LLNL has turned into an oppressive regime where there is no longer any value in your opinion or
your efforts, unless you kiss the right ass and tow the line. To bad a once great institution with a dynamic brain trust has been destroyed in a short 10 years. Keep making those 3D propellers and thinga majigs...They are important to the national defense and provide baby sitting toys for inept college graduates. Well DONE!

The unholy work of Russo and Soderstrom under the protection of foolosh Bruce Warner lead the perversion of HR from an employee support organization to a organization attack dog under LLNS. Anastasio and Miller napped on this and missed the culture shift.

LLNS would be better off if HR disbanded and the matrix organizations each designed their own tailored, smaller programs.

Plutonium Shots on NIF.

By scooby
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.

By scooby
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.

Why Workplace Jargon Is A Big Problem

By scooby
From the Huffington Post Why Workplace Jargon Is A Big Problem http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/04/25/work-words_n_5159868.html?utm_hp_ref=business&ir=Business When we replace a specific task with a vague expression, we grant the task more magnitude than it deserves. 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. By striking the following 26 words from your speech, I think you'll find that you're not quite as overwhelmed as you thought you were. Count the number that LLNLs mangers use.  touch base circle back bandwidth - impactful - utilize - table the discussion deep dive - engagement - viral value-add - one-sheet deliverable - work product - incentivise - take it to the ...
