LANL jobs
Anyone, any idea why all jobs at LANL are external only?
No jobs advertised for internal moves

I think this is sort of a Triad policy. Under LANS everyone complained that all the searches where fake and that that some internal buddy always got the job regardless of qualifications. I heard Triad promised to change this and have more open competitions for positions.
When I was at LLNL, I experienced the preference for outside candidates. COMP looked down on internal candidates. They often picked a candidate already ...but continued to interview others (mysterious practice!).
The objective is to build up the workforce to handle the expected increase in effort to produce pits. You can't do that by shuffling people around internally, only by bringing on new hires.
If Triad operates on the Battelle model, all employees except senior leadership are expendable at a moment’s notice. Senior leadership can have carnal relations with a goat on top of a plutonium pit and skate, the great unwashed employees better like goat cheese...
You are part of the problem. Loyalty and continuity are for great benefits and retirement. Jumping around jobs is not a career. You will never be able to retire comfortably. But go for it.

It must be miserable to wake up every morning worrying about your retirement like this poor soul, instead of anticipating the technical achievements that you can acomplish at one of our labs.
Bad guess. 1/09/2021 5:23 PM here, I'm already retied after over 30 years at LANL. Fantastic career, fantastic pension, very comfortable retirement. All about loyalty and continuity. Who's the "chump"?

3:15pm is correct. All mission areas at LANL are fully subscribed. Qualified external talent is needed.

Old UC good. All other forms bad. Here we go again.
