Topics regarding layoffs at Hertz

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

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 

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

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

Nothing but the truth - BS

Every single thing that comes out of a manager’s mouth is nothing, and I mean NOTHING but a self-serving lie. I stopped believing anything they tell us because they have done nothing but deceived us and lied at every damn turn for at least the last 2... — read more

I'm so sick of this

My manager and I do not get along. We are polar opposites and have gotten into heated arguments time and time again. Over the last year I’ve come close to quitting so many times I’ve lost count. I’m afraid that he’ll push me too far one day and I’ll... — read more 

Where the problem lies

The problem isn’t with the worker bees. It lies solely on the executives and management. All they do is make bad decisions upon bad decisions. Honestly they don’t have a clue on what they are doing. Seriously, what kind of leadership puts a company... — read more

The lies continue

So with this weeks news of Hertz emerging from bankruptcy it is exciting. But while the managers pat themselves on the back and pad their back accounts we are truly still far from being financially sound. The image senior leaders are trying to shape... — read more 

No protection

I don't understand why Hertz continues to punish its best employees both by pushing us under the bus when it comes to customers and by making sure we are among the first to lay off. How is that good business practice? It looks like if I want to be... — read more 

Best decision I made

I really wanted to move up and was planning to make this a career for the rest of my life. That being said, ELT has ruined the company and turned working here into a major sh-t show. Thankfully I left right before the pandemic because I had no... — read more

Whom can Hertz attract now?

Can it attract young and talented employees? Can it attract experienced professionals? This company is chronically short of employees and I am afraid that this problem will increase. Next week, I also give notice because I no longer want to do... — read more 

Why don't they want to hear suggestions?

The worst thing I could do here is to express my opinion on a problem that makes my work difficult and that can never be solved. I couldn’t keep quiet about it anymore, but their ego is so big that they can’t take even the slightest constructive... — read more 

Company “cult”ure

The environment at Hertz is toxic as he-l. Management is totally brainwashed and employees are being spoon-fed their BS on a daily basis. Don’t buy into all the cr-p you are fed because most of those who do get burned in the end. Get out while... — read more 

Outlook

Looking back at all the posts from the last 14 months all the doom and gloom prophecies are not turning out the way the haters have projected. There’s NOT going to be a liquidation, leisure travel is coming back. Perhaps business travel will be... — read more 

There is always a risk

I left last year and was scared to death that I made the wrong decision. Now I realize I was lucky to find a good company that is growing and I seem to be fitting in perfectly. If you think Hertz is toxic and you want to leave then start looking. If... — read more 

Where are you finding new jobs?

So many people are leaving on their own lately, the majority because they found new jobs, and here I am trying to find something new, sending out applications left and right and I'm getting nothing in return. Where are people applying to be having so... — read more 

Not giving my best anymore

I've been convinced many times that hard work brings nothing but stress. How many employees are cut just because they weren’t among the favorites, and they did a great job? I have heard of many such cases. And finally, what is the moral of the... — read more 

Get on with your life

I just can’t believe the amount of negativity and how many people that are just hoping for the worst the happen with Hertz. Hertz is doing GREAT. I think all of you who were here for 20-30 years but were laid off because of Covid still carry so... — read more 

Where is it better?

I’ve been seeing a lot of posts here lately from those who have supposedly left Hertz and feel like they can now breathe again, enjoying a new company where they are much, much better off than before. Don’t such stories seem too idealized? Where are... — read more 

The best time to leave

If this company intends to continue to reduce costs at the expense of benefits to its employees, and chances are that their thoughts are going in that direction, I no longer intend to work here. It's a real shame. I thought I’d stay here for a... — read more 

Job Postings?

I see that Hertz has operations managers roles posted for hire. Incredible they are adding more layers at that level.

Who fits their subjective criteria?

Employees made redundant this week we’re identified months ago, based on purely subjective criteria and whether or not they were favorites of the leadership. If they hadn’t decided I didn’t need to be here anymore, I would definitely have left... — read more 

Car sales

Why did they reopen car sales if there is a rental vehicle shortage in the US?

Massive staff shortage

The field is really struggling right now. Staffing levels are at dangerously low levels. With the already below wages we’re paying I can’t see it getting better any time some.

You stayed here a lot longer?

I came here in 2017 and I regretted it shortly after I came. I only stayed because I believed things were going to get better (which didn’t happen), and now I’m staying here because I can’t find another job. I feel pretty miserable that I haven’t... — read more
