Manageable managers

"Advance opportunities are biased and many are given to those who can be manageable."

Unfortunately true. So how many of our LANL and LLNL Diversity Managers are "Manageable"?

Manageable sounds like a loaded word rooted in the institutional and systematic oppression. Please find another word.

Being "manageable" as a prerequisite to "advance opportunities" and access to the Lab cliques, is a primary reason why poor safety cultures and employment disparities persist at the Labs.

It would be helpful if the OP had some context to the sentence they quoted.

Hate in Los Alamos

From the LANL Monitor
https://www.lamonitor.com/content/demonstrators-return-ashley-pond-park-protest-police-brutality

At the end, some of the demonstrators joined one of the creators of a banner placed over the Diamond Drive crosswalk reading “Black Lives Matter.” Shortly after it was placed there about a week ago, someone changed it to “All Lives Matter.”

“Unfortunately, it was changed again this morning to “All Lives Matter,” Isaiah Espinosa said.


I am deeply saddened know know that there are people at LANL who think "All lives Matter".

Horrible

At least humorous sarcasm lives in Los Alamos. Who would have thought?

We are going to be entering a world where sarcasm is going to be a very dangerous thing, you could be canceled, fired, censored or even injured. I say we should just jump to Pol Pot methods and get it over with. In any case HBO just banned Gone with the Wind. Fortunately I know that youtube will never ban certain rap songs. By the way the American Physical Society has declared a strike today for everyone to consider various aspects of racism and police interactions with certain minatory groups. People are trying to figure out what to do today. I suggest they just listens to voices of the oppressed. I found a few good songs that cover the subtle, complex and systematic racism with police interactions can be found below by such voices of the unheard like N.W.A and Bodycount. Enjoy

Sounds like a typical work day. What's the big deal?

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.

Rumor corner

By scooby
LLNS may have excluded the wrong people in last VSSOP? The exclusions were based on outdated job categories and related skills. ULM are now thinking that in the future, job categories and functional areas will have to be re-defined. The next VSSOP/ISP will be based on the new categories and functional areas. The questions I have are: 1) Why didnt they think of that before the transition. It seems like their style is “change things as you go”. Planning is out the window! 2) Who will give input on the new changes? The next RIF apparently is going to be more lucrative than the VSSOP. Depending on the length of employment, a RIFed person, not only gets their 1 week pay per year of service but also from 30 to 120 days notice, essentially 30 to 120 days pay. Please feel free to comment on the rumors or add new ones you actually heard.
