Wait another decade, though, when the process is complete and the National Labs have been turned into empty shells of their former glory. Then Congress will start the blame game about who killed US science and left our strategic research capabilities in such shoddy shape. America is quickly heading down hill.

Employees will have one hour to pack their office. The escort is only to allow items like pictures and awards to be packed. EVERYTHING else will be reviewed by management and if it it determined to be yours, they will pack it and ship it to you.<BR/><BR/>As for your computer, you will be allowed to create a folder and copy your files to it. Management will review that file when they get around to it and make a CD and send it to you. You will not be allowed to say goodbuy to friends and coworkers - it's off to the exit center.<BR/><BR/>The lab will create an email bounce that will basically say the employee you contacted no longer works here. If this is lab business contact someone else. You may contact this employee at home@email.com. The 200 series with more than 10 years aren't much different.<BR/><BR/>I told you to pack early!<BR/><BR/>Posted by Neko at 7:19 PMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28220200.post-46181281881221180712008-05-21T22:21:00.000-06:002008-05-21T22:21:00.000-06:00Sorry, George.
