VP Cheapskate - Part one of two - SteveJobs - 12-20-2006
This is one side of a two-sided coin.
An Executive Vice President planned our annual Christmas luncheon
1. At work
2. Use the same food service providers that run the cafeteria
3. On the day the food service provider was only charging ONE DOLLAR per person (any person in the building)
So, we got crappy food and she only had to pay $1 per person for about 50 people I'd say.
Good to know we manage over 10 Billion dollars in financial assets.

Luckily, Lincoln helped to eliminate the main purveyors that thought like that.

plastic forks & plates?

Yes. Each individually wrapped in plastic, which made a mess on the table with everyone's wrappers lying around.
