Was there no mention of getting rid of surplus managers and overhead personnel?
10:28: You silly goose.
Yes, the Comment of the Week is correct about LANS' main challenge.
Yes, they will take care of this main challenge in the next few months.
Absolutely! Once they have gotten rid of all of those troublesome scientists and engineers (nobody ever spilled aqua regia in the Otowi building) the lab can get down to its real mission of ....
Terrific. Here we are in the middle of another week, and still no news from LANS about the RIFs.
1:14pm - that was what I really like under the empire of Admiral Butthead: catchy bumper stickers. But maybe we should change them into "workfree managed safety zones" to reflect our current thriving atmosphere.
The objective isn't just to get rid of scientist, but the arrogant butt-head cowboy types. And you know you you are. Yea...you!

So why hasn't anyone gotten rid of the Aqua Regia wench yet? Why is she still allowed to abuse students and hurt postdocs?
"So why hasn't anyone gotten rid of the Aqua Regia wench yet? Why is she still allowed to abuse students and hurt postdocs?"
Guess you would have to ask Wallace - he sure will be earning his big bucks trying to explain this one! He should be fired over keeping this arrogant butt-head cowgirl.
Hey, 7:49 PM, if you think LANL has some arrogant, butt-head scientists, then just wait until LANS places some of these same people into the new "protected" class for the upcoming RIF!
How about arrogant butt-head managers? Oh, they're already protected. Silly me.
"...if you think LANL has some arrogant, butt-head scientists, then just wait until LANS places some of these same people into the new "protected" class for the upcoming RIF!
Such as? Who? Which class of LANL terds will float to the top of the punch bowl?
My god, those dumbasses won't take a subtle hint. So they were given a stronger hint.
Sad thing is "those dumbasses" have charater and ethics.
10/27/07 9:00 AM - what the heck are you talking about when you say... "Sad thing is "those dumbasses" have charater and ethics." Huh?
