Loyalty??

The new Sandia operator is requiring employees to sign what some are calling a "loyalty oath". Anybody got a copy? I hear some would rather leave than sign, others are simply not signing, and others are contacting their lawyers to figure out what parts of it may be illegal.

VSIP

Economy slowing....budgets tightening......when can we expect to start hearing about a VSIP?

No one wanted to keep the present team.

Others may want to add in as they wish, but there were usual suspects at the NNSA bidders day. UC, Bechtel,BWTX, UT and others showed up to the event. About all that was clear is that no one wanted to keep the present team.

Any positives on UC?

A previous poster asked if anyone could give one positive contribution from UC to LANL in the past 20 years. No one listed any. Sure there are lots of negative ones from UC as well as from other partners. Are there any UC positives? Any at all??
