Can your boss see how many times you have failed a quiz on Trek Uni? Just asking for a friend

I heard that if you get the same quiz wrong more then 5 times, your rep calls your boss.

That’s not so bad. If you fail an SBCU quiz 5 times, Mike Sinyard himself shows up at your door and tells you how disappointed he is.

Yeaaah.

If you fail the Madone cable routing quiz 5 times in a row, your rep calls your Boss to let him know you're an easy going fella who loves an IPA.

]Hey guys, my name is David from the Peddler Bike Shop in Cedar Park, Texas. one of the mechanics at my work needs surgery for his hernia but he cant afford it. My other co worker and I started a go fund me so he can get it faster than what he predicts (7 months through the VA) If anyone knows him please dont tell him, were trying to keep it on the DL for now. Feel free to donate, I couldn't find him on pink bike so I thought I would give it a shot since he will probably not see this.

If anyone is on the fence about donating, I just wanted to say that I have worked with Tim at another shop and he's a hard-working, stand-up guy and an excellent mechanic. He is the kind of person who would give you his last dollar and never say a word about it.
