Product news: Jens Voigt: New "Ambassador of Awesome" at Trek

23 December 2014 by the editorial office

Trekambassador1

Market: As Trek announced in a press release today, Jens Voigt will from now on hold the role of “Ambassador of Awesome” (bombastic ambassador) at Trek due to acute underemployment in retirement. The scope of his new job will be very diverse.

In the future, Voigt will oversee some trips at Trek Travel, carry out product tests and generally simply motivate the team and increase productivity through his presence and charisma. In particular, his new position as Vice President of the Geocaching Department is of central importance here: By collecting position data of the most important office supplies such as pens, extension cords and the like at the Trek headquarters in Waterloo, USA, work processes are to be significantly accelerated.



Experts are calling Voigt's "possibly the most uncomfortable retirement of all time" - but it's paying off, as Trek Vice President Joe Vadeboncoer asserts: "We expect every employee's productivity to increase by 500-600% when Jens is around." provided the geocaching is completed on schedule.” Good luck Jens, you're going to need it!

Caution: The above post could contain traces of irony. Enjoy in moderation.
