Compensation stagnation

At LLNL, I am curious who to speak to when dealing with staffing & payroll inadequacy issues. I've had a good performance track record, my 30 years, but have been stagnant in pay structure the past 20. There has to be some recourse, as I watch others float on by.

Your recourse is the private sector. I understand there are some tech companies in the Bay area.

Your recourse is the classical one: get a better job elsewhere. Then let LLNL try to beat your offer.

Don't kid yourself you don't have a good performance track record

What does stagnant mean? You should be happy if it's 1 to 3%. Keep in mind LANS zeroed hundreds of workers salaries to pay the for the exorbitant senior management salaries. LANS produced many millionaires during their reign.

For certain the system takes advantage of the average worker. Your recourse is legal or quitting. If you think you’ll be fairly compensated for your contribution, I’ve got some swamp land to sell you. LANS took advantage of everyone in the US except select members of the management team. The fact that most remain on board speaks volumes about the integrity of Triad, or lack thereof.

Actually, my decades long work at LANL was fairly compensated, at increasing levels during my career. Finished in six figures. No complaints. Lots of high performance/value ratings too. Try harder.

Many finish at seven figures.

Really? "Many" over $1M per year?? Please give names and numbers. You are delusional. Unless you just can't count digits.

McMillian was pulling in 1.5 Mill a year...Bechtel Baby!!!!

http://www.santafenewmexican.com/news/local_news/los-alamos-lab-director-retiring-at-year-s-end/article_4bf624b0-9268-11e7-a8da-67b0b8c2a1e2.html

In 2009 this was the salary without bonuses for certain individuals. If McMillian under LANS was making 1.5 total in 2017 than the following must making over one million. So basically it is the PADS at 1-1.5 Mill and the ADs at 600k-1.1 Million.
The loss of the bonuses will bite into this in a big way since was at least 50% of you base salary.

Mike Mallory - 476,000
Mike Anastasio - 437,000
Terry Wallace - 332,000
William Rees - 330,000
Roland Knapp - 326,000
Charles MacMillan - 320,000
Thomas McKinney - 315,000
Bret Knapp - 298,000
Richard Marquez - 295,000
Isaac Richardson - 277,000

This supports the claim that "many over 7 figures" is a lie. Actually none over $500k. Pretty small potatoes, major corporation management-wise.

This was in 2009 and did not include the bonuses, the bonuses can be as much as the salaries, nor did it include other compensation so yes by 2017 there where at least 10-15 people making wellover seven figures, even the Santa Fe newspapers had a story on this.

No supporting data or even a citation = no credibility to your claim. Put up or shut up.
