Actual post from Dec. 15 from one of the streams. This is a real topic. As far as promoting women and minorities even if their qualifications are not as good as the white male scientists, I am all for it. We need diversity at the lab and if that is what it takes, so be it. Quit your whining. Look around the lab, what do you see? White male geezers. How many African Americans do you see at the lab? Virtually none. LLNL is one of the MOST undiverse places you will see. Face it folks, LLNL is an institution of white male privilege and they don't want to give up their privileged positions. California, a state of majority Hispanics has the "crown jewel" LLNL nestled in the middle of it with very FEW Hispanics at all!

In addition to obvious DEI job titles, it should be easy enough for DOE/NNSA to look for key DEI words in recent lab performance appraisals to see who was officially identified as having a DEI programmatically funded function in full or in part, over the last few years. There are also charge accounts associated with DEI tasks. If the lab DEI sanitized or scrubbed performance appraisals, that would fall under trying to obscure or rename. Will DEI managers and employees be placed into EIT status?
at all costs, including security clearance violations
that never reach the LSO or HQ for proper investigation, thinking this is best for their own career interest, well, maybe that was the wrong approach. Time for a security clearance review of all DEI enablers. Absolute protection of DEI hired lab employees should have consequences.
