I work for the county but the only other blog in town and the monitor will not publish anything from us because they are afraid to (other blog owners wife works for county and newspaper gets too much money from county). I sent the following but no one will publish it. Do you think you could make one major post, only one topic, where county employees can vent a little bit. Please consider it,sometimes we are as stressed as you at the lab but have no outlet:<br /><br />I have read this blog for a while now and am somewhat afraid to post because not sure what is allowed but I will attempt. Weeks ago a golf course employee was unable to interview for the job of our incredible Denny who retired because this employee did not have a degree;the job was "reopened" and changed (no degree now) because council and administrator gave orders for this guy to be interviewed. This is wrong because the exact same thing happened to a female recreation employee several years ago who had a degree but a deree in the wrong thing. The job requirements were not changed for her and she was not eligible to interview. It gets worse now becuase two females will be be fired the HR mgr and her boss for following direction from the higher-ups. Why should anyone care, well cause it is plain discriminatory and we will get sued and lose big time unless the judge is a chauvinist too. I hope you will check the facts XXXX (deleted on purpose) so you can post without feeling guilty.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28220200.post-24496547066196032292009-06-15T20:18:43.196-06:002009-06-15T20:18:43.196-06:006:04 am: "I'm not aware of any official s...6:04 am: "I'm not aware of any official security designator that could make a facility off-limits to FN's but still allow in uncleared US citizens."<br /><br />Well, sorry, but they exist - they're called "sensitive facilities," and the FV&A office requires hosts of FNs to declare what facilities are to be inhabited/visited by the FN. Threy aren't necesarily security aeas, just too much risk of technical espionage. The declaration of "off limits" depends on the technology involved and the citizenship of the FN. This isn't a NNSA or LANL thing - it's the result of US export control laws, the Export Administration Regulations as one exapmle.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28220200.post-69108438955224546012009-06-15T19:41:33.634-06:002009-06-15T19:41:33.634-06:00How do we get rid of Terry?How do we get rid of Terry?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28220200.post-56956632716707306842009-06-15T11:39:40.269-06:002009-06-15T11:39:40.269-06:00"In fact, Terry loves the idea of scientists ..."In fact, Terry loves the idea of scientists leaving LANL and even said so during his last All-Hands meeting!" - 10:35 PM<br /><br />Terry apparently knows what you do not, 10:35 PM. LANL's future is in cleanup work and pit production type activities that are funded directly from NNSA. Scientists need not apply here any more as they will become a minor part of the future activities. <br /><br />The talk of turning LANL into a thriving "national security" lab used by many different parts of the US government is just that, talk.
