LLNL PhD Free Pass

 Anonymously contributed:

How many LLNS or past UC/LLNL employees, were subsidized by tax payers $, to get a free Phd, and not advance their field whatsoever? And instead, just become an untouchable employee, independent of Lab employee conduct expectations?

Master Degree level, or less Division Level managers or above, that also have near zero engineering achievements themselves, will not rock the boat, to protect themselves. Sad..I would not want to be a female working under this BS culture.

I worked at LLNL for 20 years. Before Bechtel, it was a joy .Below market rank and file salaries mattered very little.
Salaries were publicly available and disparities were flagrant but we accepted that. Enter Bechtel with its new class of fat management. The mission became earning the fee. Creativity and hard work no longer paid . The only ones who stayed were those close to retirement and those who couldn't hack it anywhere else.
