I brought this to the top to give some of you people an idea of how others who you work along side every date feel. Here was their entry.
"It's too much work to do another 3161."
Question: How long is the 3161 plan good for? One round of layoffs? What if they change the rules and do away with the career status and therefore everyone is a flexterm?

They are working on this diligently as you write. The PPPM section K is being rewritten and the final version will be published in July. I suspect that between now and then the FTE status will be diminished to a mere IAP contract status and the old UC protections of all kinds will have been abolished. At that time ULM LLNS can dispose of the 1000 employees needed to balance the budget for the remainder of FY--08.
If NNSA and DOE does not approve this then you'll know they've been blowing smoke up your butt all this time and everything they say from now on will not be believed. If they should renege on the ISP that would reconfirm they're lie's. However, I don't think they'll disappoints you in any way. I personally would be shocked to see NNSA say that's enough, we don't need any more lay-offs. So hold on please.
IMHO I feel the goal March 28, 2008 2:44 PM is to eventually have all term and contract except for Phd's whereby they will be in a two tier system totally protected the Phd's as if they were a special creature about to become extinct. Anything below a PhD will be just a number on a computer print-out disposable at any time and on the drop of a dime. Your wish will be granted but it takes time to under 50 years of a great working environment and to find ways to circumvent Ca state laws.
Given enough time and a steady influx of foreign national cheap labor, your wish of being demoted will in fact come true. So please be patient and get in line.
Take care and God bless.
