Retention bonus



With LLNS desperate for employees they have given out retention bonuses to key employees working on select projects. The rumor is only 1/2 of the employees received this bonus. With moral so low how do they think the other half of the employees will take it?

I am guessing it will turn out like when some of the trades were allowed to work on Davis-Bacon work and others (former employees now) and others were not. Or like when some employees were working “unlimited “ overtime and others were not allowed to work any. I think two guys who worked together for 30 years got into a fist fight over that one.

Why is LLNS employee morale so low, and why is retention becoming a challenge for LLNS? Is it related to a perception of employee value to LLNS, greener pastures elsewhere, or just post pandemic career rethinking like that of many sectors of the workforce today?

Bechtel is the key. At LANL morale was very low under LANS and Bechtel. After Triad came in there was a definite uptick in moral and professionalism. It is no secret that Bechtel is in it for the money and will abuse the system any way it can. They have no internist in service to the US or NNSA. In their minds they know when they come in it is only for 10 years so they do everything they can to steal everything and then leave. NNSA needs to get their act together and get rid of Bechtel from LLNL.

We here at LANL are very happy the Bechtelians are gone. We may yet recover from their raping and pillaging.

A behind the scenes puppet master (LLNS LLC) can't function without eager puppets, and many of these puppets have little engineering or scientific talent to offer, but they can offer absolute allegiance to those in power. Try to stay clear of these folks. I'm not kidding.

2:07 B students hire C students. Or, in the case of Bechtel, C students hire D students. Staying clear of those witless wonders is sound advice.
