Thread regarding Hertz layoffs

Severed Employees

I am a former employee and left after several years for a better opportunity. I feel bad for anyone losing their job. Based on the grammar in some of these posts I think they made some good decisions on who was severed. My job s—ed because there were so many id–ts who didn't do their job and HR wouldn't let them get fired. I will say in defense of those that didn't do their job they probably weren't trained or told how to do it right so it may not have been their fault, but I know of several employees that should have been fired years ago.

"Tenured" and "Hertz" are oxymoronic terms like "jumbo shrimp". Job security is not exactly a strong suit with Hertz.

I must disagree. I am a tenured employee of over a decade and loss my bread and butter. On devices , it can be a bit difficult for people to express themselves properly. My whole life seems upside down with this unforseen layoff . The innocent people should not have to pay the price for terrible business decisions . The cuts should be made elsewhere , people have families and now we are in a bind with having to search for jobs alongside millions .

Look out for grammar police here, who have no concern in policing the management that put the company on verge of bankruptcy.

Ok Grammar police riddle me this...if a company wins (bought) the JD Power for customer service how does a major airport location only meet the NPS target on 1 off season month per year with zero transparency in numbers and changing scoring metrics under our noses? The award was BS or Hertz kept 25% of bonuses from their employees and then fired them with a Hush Money severance. They can shove it. Im sure a few law firms would be intrigued

Anyone who claims this was an opportunity to remove dead weight is so far removed from the front lines they have no business commenting on this subject. Lots of really good people have been fired through no fault of their own. Super hard working people many who've been here for years were let go. It's very cruel to label them all dead weight. The branch I ran saw revenue and profit increases of about 20% per year over the last 5 years. We really kicked a– for the company, working overtime and weekends. Doing every job from cleaning cars, strong srpd sales, customer service, billing, fleet management. Me and my staff got glowing reviews and maximum merit increases consistently year over year. Then my entire branch got furloughed and now fired. People with families who are losing their healthcare.

11000 layoffs can't be to get rid of the dead weight. Have compassion CoolCat&Kitten.

Thank you grammar and spelling teacher for your service at this worst time of our career amid a pandemic.

When we see an opening in our future place, an invitation will be reserved for you.

The comments were not official correspondence, required to run them through MS Word spell and grammar checks.

It's not right to judge employees, who have wrote them just after hearing the worse. Not time for grammar and spell check.

Do not judge a person based on grammatical mistakes, who wrote those comments past midnight under stress after getting the layoff out of the blue the very day.

I wonder if we worked there at the same time? I only worked there four years but was appalled at the number of people that just...sat around and did nothing. And no one seemed to care or do anything about it. It was impossible to get let people go. While I absolutely HATE layoffs and the like...I am hoping they used this as a way to get rid of the dead weight. Although given how top heavy they are, there is some dead weight at the exec level as well.
