Very interesting insight from a Trek manager in a position to know, and who wouldn't likely come forward like this unless he could back up what he says.

Not surprising - incompetence, lying to cover up failures, and stretching a thin resume....sound familiar?

Sounds like she might get a post in the 0bama administration if her bid for gov fails.

In fact, Burke apparently was fired by her own family following steep overseas financial losses and plummeting morale among Burke’s European sales staff, multiple former Trek executives and employees told Wisconsin Reporter.

...And then she went into politics.
I guess if you are too incompetent to work in private industry (and provide a product, or service, that the public wants) - you go into Government. And then you do what you can to extract your vengeance on private industry.
And thus the state of our Nation -- run by industry hating incompetents.

So based on her great management skills, she is clearly qualified to be a governor of Wisconsin. (sarcasm)

Wow, it’s pretty hard to get fired from a family business.

Shallowest candidate for Governor I’ve ever seen in WI - just looking at her while she speaks is a chore. It doesn’t really surprise me that she has a thin resume or that her record is one of failure.

[Steve_Seattle]

Correct me if I’m wrong, but it sounds like this story was broken by a small, conservative blog/news site, and that the MSM newspapers didn’t touch it, didn’t know about it, or covered it up.

Sounds like she is democrat presidential material.

“There is a dark side to Mary that the people at Trek have seen … She can explode on people. She can be the most cruel person you ever met,” said Ellerman ...”

Trek no longer builds bikes in the US. What about the exported jobs?

[RetiredArmy]

Dang. Now I have to trade my Trek bike for another brand. Didn’t know this commie owned the company. But, heck, all the bike companies are owned by socialists.

New Scott Walker ad:

“Mary Burke can’t even run a bicycle shop! She certainly shouldn’t be allowed to run a state.”

[Senator_Blutarski]

This issue has not yet made its way into the mainstream media in Wisconsin. Until it does this will zero effect on Burke.
