Suspect they have, indeed, won the contract along with their 5-star engineering partner, Boeing. Time to start painting the LANL security fence orange. Most high level managers at LANL had blinders on and were backing the tired, old UC team so it looks like a lot of upper management positions will soon be opening up. A fresh, new team of professional managers may soon be arriving.
Whats is with the comments?
So far everyone seems pretty positive abut the possibility of Texas winning. Most want to get rid of Bechtel, many still sort of like UC but are worried that we would keep the current crop of managers which means even if UC wins little would change from the continued downward spiral. The talk has been that the UC team was heavy with current LANL managers which really turned lots of people off on UC. It is rather shocking how much disdain there is for the high level management at LANL. The only exception and I do mean the only one that people have said anything positive about is Webster.
With U-Texas there is at least a chance we can replace or reduce the number managers we have at LANL.
I think it has something to do with the blog sever, at least from the outside almost all the comments have vanished.
There was also the troll that said no one would ever bid for LANL since it was so bad and that no university would ever get near LANL ever again. Looks like that was wrong on all counts.
seriously that company modifies its employees value system by moving them around all the time, this destroys any community ties, family ties, etc. The employee is left w/o friends, other than fellow BNI types, and after some time they cant function outside of the company.

More blather from the resident LANL hater. Obviously doesn't work at LANL, and never has.
Hello...hello, yes it was.
Sorry, but the RIF was right and just and everyone knows this to be true in the hearts. I know the names of many of these people some came back due to the lawsuits but they also know he decision was correct.
