More layoffs

It is clear that the 350 contract workers let go is the beginning of a big change.

I gave a Powerpoint presentation to LANL postdocs. To my surprise, there was standing room only.

Post docs appear to have a much less certain future at LANL than the future they were promised when they came. In certain divisions, this likely future is a little bit worse. In other divisions, this future is bleak.

There are also strong rumors about people being laid off or outsourced in a number of groups across the lab.
