He is really painting a much brighter picture than the reality. i know why. When he visits a location what he sees is what the VP's want him to see not the reality. On a recent visit to JFK the smoke and mirrors we put up was insane. The day he spent... — read more
What happened in Denver?
GM, Admin, CS Manager's all let go? Interesting.
So why have you not jumped ship?
I see people still believing there is a future? Its just another group of people getting rich at the cost of the brand.
How much of a raise would keep you here?
For me, this is no longer the same company since some of my colleagues left, all of whom were experts in their field and with whom it was a pleasure to work. Now they are paid much, much more. Pay is not the primary reason why I decided to leave... — read more
Nothing changes
New leader same cr-p. My RVP is simply hanging on for dear life. I see them losing their souls everyday?the worst is yet to come
Will there be layoffs in 2022?
What do you think? I am thinking that we'll hit another major covid wave in the fall and things will be ugly. Not sure, just my gut feeling. All folks that work with me think that the worst is behind us, so I guess I am the designated pessimist... — read more
Have things improved at Hertz?
I was laid off a little over a year ago and the place was a mess when I left. Everybody was miserable and in constant fear of being next on the chopping block. Have things changed since then? I didn't see many layoff-related posts when I skimmed... — read more
It's not just the raise that's the problem
Even if I got an adequate raise for the amount of work I do, I would still look for another job because some employees are here not for pay only, but also want to advance in their careers. This is impossible here for someone who is not a... — read more
New CIO doing old CIO things
Opal brought in her people and set up an IT hub the RevLab in Chicago. With her gone, new guy Tim is going to set up a shop in Denver. Both gave the same reasons - IT employee talent pool. Check back here in 2 years when the next CIO comes in and... — read more
Raises
Has anyone out there, gotten their yearly raises yet? We havent gotten any in PHX..
I'm hopeful we might be looking at a turnaround
New record quarterly profit, demand is on the rise, travel is coming back full force... I'm cautiously optimistic when it comes to the future of the company. I'm so used to getting bad news on all fronts when it comes to Hertz that seeing something... — read more
Retirement?
Joes retiring and Karen is promoted again. Ever changing company!
Stephen Scherr
What do we know about him? What can we expect of him? I admit, putting a former Goldman Sachs CFO into the position of CEO at Hertz could mean bad things for us. If he focuses on cost cuts above everything else, we're screwed. That is, unless he goes... — read more
Waiting on tax statement after settlement

"Let's go"
The new tag line fits every situation. For the executive it refers to lets go fu-k everyone over for a dollar and make ourselves look good. For the employees it means lets go and get the he-l out of here. Time to find a new job and get away from this... — read more

Hertz Symbolizes Everything That’s Wrong With American Corporations
This article sums it up well; however, it only conveys what is public knowledge. If you’ve ever worked for them, you know just how rotten to the core the company really... — read more
Take advantage of this job market
You have no good excuse to still be employed here. There are so many jobs available in this and other industries that you can pick and choose where to apply. And I can guarantee you that you'll have several offers to choose from as well within weeks... — read more
Is this company working against itself or what?
There have never been more wrong people in some positions than there are now. Some do jobs that far exceed their capacity. Mediocrity is becoming the rule, not the exception. Terrible. Because of all this, I can only conclude that this company is... — read more
Nothing will ever change
The loser leadership will keep making loser decisions that will keep the rest of us miserable. Just a bunch of same ol' same ol', basically.
New names doing the same old stuff
Where to begin. Only managers have a seen significant difference in their lives. They all got raises and are seen less in the operation then ever. We attempt to hire front line workers for $11 dollars an hour, not happening. The cars are cr-p too. We... — read more
Hertz Global Layoffs 2022
Thoughts? Any Hertz Global layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?
How is Hertz doing?
I was laid off a year and a half ago and I was resentful for so long, but now that I finally have a new job that is better in every way (pay, benefits, work environment) I can look at the past objectively. I hope things have improved for the people... — read more
Things you realize after you leave
It’s only when I left Hertz to work for another company that I realized just how awful the company was. Many will say “it’s a job that pays the bills” and I can attest to that 100%. But it was also a toxic environment that was so depressing most... — read more
What changes do you expect?
Do you think there will be significant changes with the new CEO? Unfortunately, I have placed all my hopes in finding another job, because I do not believe that anyone here will be able to make a positive change in any reasonable time. It would... — read more
Bye Bye Paul
Bloomberg reporting the the search for a new CEO is in progress. Its been a good ride and I am sure Paul will open that golden parachute that he built into his contract. The funny part will be watching everyone scramble when it happens like roaches... — read more
Ops hiring- just keep piling it on Paul
As if we don’t have enough on our plates now we have to do the hiring. I’m so sick of this place forcing more work on all of us in the field. What the he-l do you all do all day in Florida- think of ways for us to do more. Guess your just saving... — read more
Demoralized, unmotivated, ready to search for exit
I can’t even remember anymore when I started losing motivation. After Hertz got rid of some great people through constant cuts, the rest I loved working with are leaving for greener pastures. How do you stay motivated for work when you witness every... — read more
bye bye Opal
would have been great to see a message along the lines of "the new shareholders took a second look at what we are calling "digital transformation" and came to the conclusion that there was nothing digital nor transformative about it. Project ONE... — read more
Of course, talent will go away when they have bad managers
There are fewer and fewer great colleagues, talents and devoted employees here with whom it was a pleasure to work. Not surprising to me at all because there are not that many talented people who would stay here and not leave, not the job but the... — read more
How picky are you?
Why am I still here? - The only answer I can give is because I still haven't found another option that suits me. I am less and less picky and now my biggest criterion is that the new company does not have delusional management, because I find it to... — read more
Operations continues to fail as VPs keep acting like nothing is wrong
We continue to be fed fake news from Estero as we are getting ki---d in operations. Things keep getting worse when you think they can't. VPs stop visiting your presence does nothing for us.
The End of Project One C2C and the Allstate regime
Program has been cut. All work on Project One is to stop. We will continue to have a bunch of open jobs and scramble around to show we are busy, but don't worry, we won't deliver anything. The Board of Directors gave me a nice retention bonus, so... — read more
Global Town Hall
Where to start? Someone has been reading the posts here because now all of a sudden Chapter11 wasn't the greatest thing ever and we took our eye of the ball in frontline staff and service. You think so, Paul? How are DTG employees feeling? Hertz... — read more
Who can save our company?
Experts with the knowledge and the ability to help this company would never be allowed to come here simply because all the incompetence that was allowed would be exposed! We’ve endured layoffs and bankruptcy and lies. Experts would do away with some... — read more
How many were naïve?
My husband told me to forget Heartz and move on with our lives. I needed to stop holding out for a call back to return because chances are slim to none that it will ever happen. I realize (grudgingly) that he was correct. Of course waiting months and... — read more
