From the Huffington Post Why Workplace Jargon Is A Big Problem http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/04/25/work-words_n_5159868.html?utm_hp_ref=business&ir=Business When we replace a specific task with a vague expression, we grant the task more magnitude than it deserves. If we don't describe an activity plainly, it seems less like an easily achievable goal and more like a cloudy state of existence that fills unknowable amounts of time. A fog of fast and empty language has seeped into the workplace. I say it's time we air it out, making room for simple, concrete words, and, therefore, more deliberate actions. By striking the following 26 words from your speech, I think you'll find that you're not quite as overwhelmed as you thought you were. Count the number that LLNLs mangers use. touch base circle back bandwidth - impactful - utilize - table the discussion deep dive - engagement - viral value-add - one-sheet deliverable - work product - incentivise - take it to the ...

Why would the offer a VSIP? It makes no sense.
A Layoff cuts out the folks that management thinks is deadwood. And again, sometime you lose good workers as well.
As a recipient of the 2013 buyout, sometimes it works out quite well if the timing is right.
I thought LANL needs to hire 7500 people by 2024 for pit production. So money is just pouring in and there is no way to spend it. They hire anybody and everyone. So no VSIP.
Of course in this day and age of pronoun usage, how can one be truly sure.
In any event,4/01/2022 12:57 PM's observation that LANL is in the hiring mode might not apply to Livermore.
Is a VSIP actually be offered to Livermore folks, or is it wishful thinking for those looking for the escape hatch lined with gold?
They created a CIO organization and disguised it as a program.
In the business world, the CIO is crucial to the success of the entire company. At LLNL. a CIO is meaningless. It is the programs that matter.
Now back to the original question of the thread: IS THERE A VSIP BEING OFFERED TO LLNL?
Nope! .....and speaking as “deadwood” I’m so disappointed.
