Actual post from Dec. 15 from one of the streams. This is a real topic. As far as promoting women and minorities even if their qualifications are not as good as the white male scientists, I am all for it. We need diversity at the lab and if that is what it takes, so be it. Quit your whining. Look around the lab, what do you see? White male geezers. How many African Americans do you see at the lab? Virtually none. LLNL is one of the MOST undiverse places you will see. Face it folks, LLNL is an institution of white male privilege and they don't want to give up their privileged positions. California, a state of majority Hispanics has the "crown jewel" LLNL nestled in the middle of it with very FEW Hispanics at all!

Former AD for Engineering Monya Lane and other LLNS senior managers, had to buy into and approve of Mr. Rivera's dismissal ("for reasons other than misconduct"), in order to set his termination in motion. Unlawful workplace harassment has many facets. Unfortunately, there were no "Me Too" or "Time's Up" like large scale movements to protect or defend whistleblowers in 2013 or in the present.
