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!

I really doubt that.
Nothing will happen to NNSA or TRIAD...
Two months ago, Gordon-Haggerty was writing memos to Mason ordering him to NOT close down the Lab, damn the work force, and that he needs to listen to her and not Grisham. This week little Miss two-faced sends out a group-hug message to all the workers. She cares about everyone's safety ...
So it completely escapes you that in two months, the entire world changed, but Gordon-Haggerty can't reverse an earlier decision? When the facts change I change my mind. What do you do?
Regarding 5:29 a.m. above, priority was provided by NA-1. Only one DP program remained operational at TA-55 and it wasn't even pit manufacturing. Detonators were also allowed to work. The rest of the programs have been provided information on how they will phase back in. I believe pit man phased in last week. Others will be trickling in until end of May.
Still not business as usual. The lab is still adhering to recommended CDC restrictions all the while attempting to unpause operations.
I wonder what China thinks of all this? I bet they kept the people at their labs working.
Does anyone have any insight as to why this would be the case? What is driving this new charging protocol? Why won't people be allowed to charge sick or COVID-sick while self-isolating?
