They want to reserve the transfers for their oldest employees so they can dump responsibilities for accrued benefits onto LANS back. <BR/><BR/>Thus, don't expect to see ads on the Bechtel site for Los Alamos positions. That would ruining the whole idea of using LANL as a convenient dumping ground.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28220200.post-31505217552116137982008-01-15T09:17:00.000-07:002008-01-15T09:17:00.000-07:00Thanks, everybody, for making that clear.1/14/08 8...Thanks, everybody, for making that clear.<BR/><BR/>1/14/08 8:45 PM<BR/><BR/><BR/>...and thanks for clarifying that.

But if you examine the FEDERAL job list in New Mexico, you will find that the physical science jobs that aren't administering Nuclear Facilities are in Albq. and other places in southern New Mexico. The fact that these jobs were posted with relatively short fuses would allow one to infer that actions will be coming soon.<BR/><BR/>As for your other statements, only time will tell. It would be interesting to compare notes in several years, as no one here can really see the future!
