How many managers do you have at your locations and how many rentals are you doing a day??
Is anyone surprised?
Hertz filled the leaderships ranks with people with no industry experience. None. Every Single top and mid level position, zero industry experience. And did this for the better part of last 7 years. And told us the way to run car rental was with... — read more

RM Hate Week
Let’s post our favorite revenue management hate stories. We know they are terrible and don’t actually do anything, but let’s share some laughs.
Hertz Lost State Farm - Liquidation Next
Think I’m lying? If we re-signed as primary, they would have sent out 529363629 public announcements. It’s way past due for an announcement. They are keeping it hush-hush while they liquidate. If they told you all, everyone would just give up... — read more
Late Night, Come Home
Hertz S—s, I know.
On its last leg

Been with Hertz for 3 years and I love working here. I just bought a home, and I'm working hard to complete my MBA. I'm really worried about losing my job. What does everyone think Hertz will be like in 10 years?
We should not be trying to keep this leadership
Couple million to keep lousy leaders onboard in the grand scheme of things IS something. They broke it, no need to reward them in excess to what they already lined their packets with for retention bonuses paid. If they are not working for the best... — read more
Other rental car companies weren’t positioned like HTZ before covid.
The reality is whether it was Mark F with the restatement bc he cooked his books to pay very large bonuses to middle management and senior management or John T with his genius pricing strategy like the airlines or then the most recent Kathy and Paul... — read more
Bonus Money to Keep Senior Leaders
With another high profile executive exit, it's clear that we need to go back to the judge and demonstrate the need to pay retention bonuses. The work ahead is hard and the road ahead is very uncertain. Is it now clear that some additional bonuses... — read more

Restructure plan?
Anyone from Estero with info on restructure plan? Everything has been too silent and VPs keep saying we're about to come out of bankruptcy soon.
Poll: Are you actively seeking employment elsewhere?
Upvote for yes, downvote for no Comments are fine too.
Clueless
Why do these top people think that they deserve a large bonus. The small people did not get raises before the pandemic they did get a bonus But they always think about their dumb a–.
Too many senior management
Directors, Directors, Directors, Directors
Good Luck Tomorrow Estero
That office will be a COVID cesspool within a week. Hillbilly Paul continues to make reckless and dangerous decisions that put the employees at risk. Look around, you jackass, Gartner is closed until 2022. No other company is returning to the office... — read more
Dollar/Thrifty almost gone
Here in Phx, we suddenly moved to the Hertz counter and said it was temporary because our lines in all 3 brands were too long for the staff to handle each brand so now we are doing all 3 brands at the Hertz counter and the lines are worse, they took... — read more
Leadership
Hertz leadership is key to its survival. The leaders need to pay close attention to the operating staff who are actually doing the work and servicing the customers. These folks need incentives to work harder for the company, otherwise it’s over... — read more

Trimming the fat
We can all attest that there are those who deserve to be ‘cut’ because they bring no real value to the company other than trying to look busy when in reality nothing gets accomplished. From GMs, to Directors, to RVPs we need to make a few of those... — read more
