Either the LLNS employee Copper thief that stole $117,667 worth of copper from LLNL from 2011 to 2014, is the luckiest guy on Earth for only given a misdemeanor charge, or LLNS navigated a path to minimize or eliminate a NNSA financial penalty for this chronic copper theft.

If one can keep confirmed egregious behaviors under wraps, given enough time and influence, one can create a more palatable narrative. Labs managers accused of misconduct who suddenly get “transferred” to a new assignment benefit from palatable narratives even when not justifiable or equitable. However, if you lose any of those 3 factors, story time becomes problematic.
Yes the “3 factors” are important. In most cases though, once you get into Lab management, you have an unspoken “ticket to the show”, meaning you now have protections that no worker bee has. If you are a manager also identified as “underutilized”, you have a “ticket to the show” with nearly irrevocable VIP seating.
It’s very unfortunate most Lab managers, minority or non-minority, with demonstrated leadership skills, have to be in any way associated with the misconduct of some “protected” Lab managers, but this is where we are. There is no root out mechanism that doesn’t trigger some form of political blow back for the Lab, and the “protected” managers know it.
So how do these protected or “anointed “ lab managers get away with misconduct? A gag order?
They get away with it by being promoted! There is a growing crowd of incompetent and unqualified managers at LLNL, who get where they are through brown nosing, because they certainly have no real ability. If they additionally fit within DEI needs, they are untouchable. One has to wonder how they really live with the lie, likely more miserable about what they really are than the misery people “under” them deal with…
I have witnessed theft at llnl. Reported it to management on several occasions and been repremanded on numerous occasions. Also witnessed lying and corruption. If the ones doing the dirty deeds are buddies with management , they are not dirty deeds anymore.
