Linda M. Vesper
“The meatloaf is fine. The meatloaf has always been fine.”
— Linda M. Vesper
Linda M. Vesper joined Systems Corp. in 1994 as the Cafeteria Supervisor, assigned to the Facilities division. She was hired to oversee the staff cafeteria in Building 1, which had previously operated without a dedicated supervisor. Her appointment followed the 1991 reorganization, under which cafeteria inquiries were routed to Facilities.
Mrs. Vesper is responsible for menu planning, ingredient procurement, and the preparation and service of meals for Systems Corp. employees during regular business hours. The cafeteria serves meatloaf on Mondays. On March 3, 1994, shortly after her arrival, Mrs. Vesper authored an internal memorandum (SC-M-1994-0037) confirming that the meatloaf meets all applicable specifications. The memo was distributed to all division heads and filed with the Office of the Chief Executive.
Mrs. Vesper has responded to all subsequent formal complaints regarding the meatloaf with a brief written note confirming that the meatloaf is fine. The text of these responses has not varied. She maintains a binder of ingredient sourcing records in the cafeteria kitchen, which she updates quarterly. The binder is not available for general review.
Mrs. Vesper reports to the Facilities division and operates from the cafeteria in Building 1. She has no direct reports. Cafeteria hours are posted on the door.
