Going to a cold play show is already showing bad judgment.

There are many ways to effectively conceal marital infidelity by an employee in a company A leadership position, with another employee in company A, such as witness intimidation, financial compensation, gag orders, and of course, unilaterally and abruptly, transferring someone in a leadership position accused of such misconduct, to another position, under the guise of such a transfer having
some greater importance to company A goals. These tools are effective in concealing such behavior. But as recent events have shown, a Jumbotron or “Kiss Cam”, expose what was likely already obvious to many, and is a “Royal Flush” poker hand event, where the winnings are the expectations of employees impacted, the reputation of the company, and the demands of stakeholders for prompt corrective action, including publicly firing employees that engage in conduct that grossly violates company policy.

This is kinda like having an organization where the workers could lose their jobs if they get accused of a DUI, yet the CEO gets a DUI and keeps every aspect of their job. The class or Caste system is alive and well.

6:36 -- Aren't there places like France that are more easygoing about stuff like that? They still have lots of nuclear energy and bombs, so it seems to be working out for them, and they don't seem that unhappy overall.

In France this us no big deal but in the US this is problem for the girl bosses. If this was a women CEO it would be called stunning and brave.

I can’t speak to policies of France. The issue with USA National Labs and holding a security clearance given our very explicit clearance policies, is being vulnerable to exploitation that could compromise national security and obviously your perceived trustworthiness.

If you don’t avoid or promptly disclose your conduct and get caught, and say, “well, they are cool with this behavior in France”, you might lose your security clearance.

Unless you are a Lab good old boy or gal, or are a DEI privileged employee without Jumbotron like exposure of your conduct.

Agreed. A high profile manager charged with a DUI, or a high profile swinging d_ck manager, usually get to keep “every aspect of their job” including their security clearance. It boils down to a conscious decision, to either let the employee face the consequences of misconduct with the LSO without leadership support, or preventing or politically “massaging”, what gets to the LSO with strong leadership support.

Typically modern CEO / down to middle management:

Those rules are for thee, not for me.

5:24 Many people don't know this but Cabot is actually a French name, although it is used in Britain due to the Normans.

Plutonium Shots on NIF.

Tri-Valley Cares needs to be on this if they aren't already. We need to make sure that NNSA and LLNL does not make good on promises to pursue such stupid ideas as doing Plutonium experiments on NIF. The stupidity arises from the fact that a huge population is placed at risk in the short and long term. Why do this kind of experiment in a heavily populated area? Only a moron would push that kind of imbecile area. Do it somewhere else in the god forsaken hills of Los Alamos. Why should the communities in the Bay Area be subjected to such increased risk just because the lab's NIF has failed twice and is trying the Hail Mary pass of doing an SNM experiment just to justify their existence? Those Laser EoS techniques and the people analyzing the raw data are all just BAD anyways. You know what comes next after they do the experiment. They'll figure out that they need larger samples. More risk for the local population. Stop this imbecilic pursuit. They wan...

Trump is to gut the labs.

The budget has a 20% decrease to DOE office of science, 20% cut to NIH. NASA also gets a cut. This will  have a huge negative effect on the lab. Crazy, juts crazy. He also wants to cut NEA and PBS, this may not seem like  a big deal but they get very little money and do great things.

LLNL un-diversity

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!
