Topics regarding layoffs at Hertz

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

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

6.2B...

Everyone said the company was worthless and the end was near. Now it’s quite evident Hertz will still be around for a long time. I quit my job thinking I found something better and now I wish I didn’t.

Where to find motivation to work?

New debit card policy

Growing nepotism?

I really can’t believe what this company has become. I see here on the forum, and I heard from other people as well that Hertz posts the job openings because the company has to do it legally, but in the end they hire someone they selected even before... — read more

Hertz will survive

I have a feeling that things will get much worse before they get better, but they will get better. However, the number of employees will most likely be reduced drastically before things get back to normal, which means that not many of us will still... — read more

Is there any use in staying?

What are the chances that there'll be a time when things will go back to somewhat normal? I don't have many good options for a new job so I'm not eager to leave, but if there's really no future here then I might as well start looking. I just keep... — read more
