******. NOTE *******
I am working on keeping this post on top of the blog for a while. This allows us to discuss more elaborately.
The Blogger "top post" feature is malfunctioning.
The basic term of the LLNS contract No. DE-AC52-07NA27344, will end on September 30, 2026. What policies and practices should the NNSA (hopefully with employee input) preserve, review, or change for the next LLC contractor?

What is malfunctioning Scooby?
The feature I have or had to promote a post to top of be log.
It is not working for me.
Many LLNS employees have zero experience with UC/LLNL management. Yet, UC/LLNL can be a valuable benchmark for the selection of our next contractor. I think an effort to produce a framework of expectations for the next LLNL contractor by current employees and retirees, coordinated with the NNSA and outside the influence of LLNS, will be helpful.
Hopefully, the prolonged removal of LANS management from LANL, will not be a NNSA model for the selection of our next LLNL contractor. No one year extensions please.
Scooby, this next LLNL contractor topic hasn’t generated much in the way of suggestions for selecting the next LLC. This topic appears to be squarely aligned with your “impacts of the privatization of the Lab” blog purpose. Are LLNS employees just very satisfied with the current contractor, or is this a case of cold feet on the subject?
From my experience, the workforce has been pacified with relatively good
salaries and raises in the last 5-10 years. For many it is just a job.
LLNS is the most unqualified contractor for national security.
As 1/26 6:21 stated above, based of some recent all hands discussions the majority of the labs workforce has less than 5 years experience working for Livermore. The average age of many of these new hires puts them at 8 years old when UC last ran the lab. If they were multi generational employees they might remember the good times when their mom or dad worked for UC when they were growing up.
As far as current issues.. well there certainly have been some major changes especially in the past few weeks that will affect many employees in the future.
Would you care to elaborate on the changes?
