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!

How do you get from a closed office to “directed them to other activities”?
The normal pattern when LLNL program funding is lost if applied here would be DEI staff would become EIT employees, where it is the EIT employees responsibility to compete for and acquire a programmatically funded assignment or face individual RIFs. “Rules for thee but not for me".
The DUI event sure shows the true colors of management and how they treat the working class at the lab. Normally a DUI or even accused of a DUI result ls in having your clearance revoked, and not having a clearance in some of the working class organizations in the past meant you were on the EIT list and if they didn’t find another job they were shown the door.
True. Management response? Limit attention to tragic event domino Z, and keep preceding event dominos A to Y in the sequence, out of the discussion. Shameful.
