In another great move by Hertz, they are laying off all of their car salespeople, closing all car sales locations, and are going to have the car rental folks handle the auto sales. Ridiculous. After limiting the financing options buyers had, looking... — read more
Car sales is gone
The car sales is gone....... SMT will never learn, they drive business away. GO figure. Glad I left. SO sad for all the employees, ALOT of people are going to have a cr-ppy Thanksgiving. But we have 4 presidents of the company.....
Suaib Bulhan is gone
Huge layoff. division vice president is gone. What’s next?
Q3 disaster
14 cents a share. Investors expected 25 cents a share. At this point in time, I’m shocked investors expected anything above a zero. Is this the best Hertz can do on their only profitable quarter? How’s Gilly Bean still employed?
Operations is so bad the VP left to work in HR
AVP of Ops is moving to AVP of People. How bad is it in the Adnone world people leave to be in HR. New person will come in thinking they can make a difference only to be told they can't hire, do more work less, but get UTE to 99% and NPS over 50... — read more
Terrible leadership
Imagine being the reason someone quits their job. They came to work to earn a living and pay bills, but your toxic behavior made every shift so miserable that leaving felt like the only way to find peace. How many toxic leaders can you count? I can... — read more

I hate this job. Anyone else?
Just curious who else hates this job? Ruining someone’s vacation or business trip every day. Then it’s the nonstop ill educated managers giving directions.
Unnecessary positions
ARE being evaluated. Straight from the mouth of c-suite. Beware you do nothing elevated titles. Your days are numbered. “Too many layers” were the exact words used and they weren’t referring to anyone at their level….polish those resumes, too bad... — read more
Hertz High School
If there’s one thing I’ve learned about working at Hertz, it’s that it can feel like one big popularity contest. You can work hard, consistently get results, and prove that you’re good at your job, but none of that seems to matter as much as being... — read more
Stay tuned
Are you ready for big announcements?
This used to be a genuinely good place to work
Until it was destroyed by leadership who didn't and don't care about either the company or employees, but do care a lot about making sure to fill their own pockets as much as they can before this place is so ruined that there's nothing left to pick... — read more
From #1 RAC to a full blown circus 🤡
How did we get from being a premier car rental company to a full blown circus and the laugh of the RAC industry?
C-Suite weekly updates
Why does this fool Gil always has to post bs? Then every one of his minions always back it up like they created bread. Just waiting for the moment that the golden parachute gets deployed.
Stop working hard
Why give more when they're paying less? Work your wage.
Vehicle purchasing
Who decided to buy so much fleet after summer? during the summer we didnt have much for customers... now that summer is over we are getting a lot of new vehicles i mean make it make sense.

Ackman lost faith in Hertz
This should tell you everything you need to know. One of the well known investors threw in the towel. Sold all his shares. This company is trash. If you have stock-you should follow suit. Rather than taking a further loss-sell!... — read more
Fantastic Q2
Revenue +10% YoY to $2.396B, despite the average fleet being 1% smaller. That’s a strong sign that Hertz is getting more revenue out of its fleet. RPD +9% to $61.98 — a very important metric for Hertz. RPU was +8%. Adjusted EBITDA $81M, up... — read more
Terminally I'll patient

Spending spree
It’s a spending spree now that the company got more help! Teams traveling the globe and enjoying entertainment and fancy dinners. Yet-we are in debt and are taking on more debt. Not to mention the 6 figure work from the coach and pool side... — read more
Who’s jumping over to Sixt?
Flocks of our staff are jumping over to other companies. Recent trends also indicate Sixt is picking up talent. Who’s running over Kennedy’s empire?
Why are posts disappearing?
Have noticed several posts disappearing and I doubt the author deleted them. Is this website censoring posts or Hertz asking the website to censor and delete?
Pizzaaaa
Can we just have another pizza party? C’mom guys that will make everything all better.

Layoff reports
I’ve seen reports of layoffs. Do you know which teams are affected?
Everyone job is in trouble
Got laid off today HR guy got upset at my comment. I said “today it’s my job, within a year it’s probably yours” I had good memories, but clearly this company is going bankrupt again pretty soon. You can’t outsource every job to India and expect... — read more
Outsourced IT
Well folks, here we go again. More bad news from Estero. Entire IT functions being dismantled and outsourced to India. Last time this happened was a disaster. Financial gymnastics continue to accelerate. When is the next shoe dropping?
Counting the exits
I've been looking at how much my team has shrunk over the past year and it's pretty alarming. Some of that was layoffs, but a lot of it was people simply choosing to leave. I'm wondering if other teams are seeing the same thing or if it's just us.

Catastrophic post CP11/covid turnaround
Stock value down 90% post CP11 / covid. Estero down to useless HQ shell. Now we’re supposed to believe Oro and other useless ventures will path us to glory. Going back to basics got us nowhere. More rounds of layoffs this week. Anyone left with half... — read more

If they try to say this is about performance, it's bullsh-t. We lost two of our best, highest performing people. I don't know why and who made the decision, but it's more than obvious by what's been happening that we're being led by complete and... — read more
