Text: 7 Jackson charged Cooper with failure to obey orders concerning required deadlines of assigned projects. In particular, Cooper failed to meet deadlines for a memorandum on Test Analyze and Fix (TAAF) testing. A draft of the memorandum was due 12 June 1992, and a final version was due 19 June 1992. As of 20 July 1992, Cooper had not submitted even the draft memorandum. 8 Cooper was also charged with failure to obey orders concerning working on grievances during official duty time. On 18 May 1992, Cooper returned to work after a suspension. During June and July of 1992, Cooper worked on a grievance related to his prior suspension rather than working on the TAAF project. He did this despite receiving a direct order not to work on the grievances during official duty time. Grievance-related material found in Cooper's computer directory suggested that the material had been written during working hours.
