Hertz is car rental not car sales. Car sales coming back is not a good sign. The need to move more cars to sell and thisis a huge red flag. They are trying to delete as many cars before the final steps of the bankrupcy occurs and the courts take... — read more
No more for me
I’m so glad to be leaving. Just ticking the days away and not looking back. As the saying goes “if you don’t have anything good to say - don’t say anything at all” - and I'm going to leave it at that when it comes to this company. I just want to... — read more
Car Sales
I guess the company isn't doing to bad, car sales is reopening.
Does anyone miss this place?
I’ve been gone for a few months and sometimes I miss it. Then I remember how horrible leadership was, how they ran the company into the ground - and I thank my lucky stars I’m not there. My experience with Hertz has been good when it comes to my... — read more
22 years
my dad was laid off after 22 years. his boss did not even call him. so much for loyalty.
Not waiting to return from furlough
There comes a time when you have to do what’s best for you and your family. I took the time while on furlough to look for something better because there’s only so much one can wait when you have mouths to feed and your savings is being depleted. So I... — read more
Happy holidays!
How's holiday demand in your market? These holidays are where Hertz makes it's money in the winter. Demand in california is non existent. How is it in other states?
Brexit?
I wonder what happens to HEL now that we are almost certain about the Brexit no-deal. Will they shut down the office and move to somewhere else? Is it worth to keep an European head office in a ‘no-more-European-Country’?
Sales purge
Many key Sales executives have been laid off. Bob is gone. Do you think the new organization makes any sense?
Touching base
I left right before the pandemic because I had a better opportunity. Most of the people I am close to have also moved on and I was wondering how things were going? Is it still as bad as I remember it or have things gotten worse? Is leadership still... — read more
If u were laid off u were the lucky ones!
Burning it down at the expense of the customer and frontline employees. Morale is low..RM booking to 95% all day with no care. Senior leaders sitting around having their c—tails not working while locations burn.
How's the CEO doing???
Just curious on how the C-suite is doing these days. I'm sure there is plenty of pressure with Apollo there now but they will get a fat bonus in early 2021 plus another check once they are bought out. So I guess they need to keep their heads down... — read more
Bye Bye Donlen
Not really a shocker as there was much speculation this was going to happen. Dollar and/or Thrifty next?
Stockholm Syndrome
Does anyone think those still loyal to the company have it? I mean it would make sense considering how badly we’ve all been treated, especially frontline workers. How else would you explain such devotion? It can’t be for the pay, everyone knows it’s... — read more
Hertz Global Layoffs 2021
This thread is for info about potential Hertz Global Layoffs 2021? Any news or rumors?
Two years with this place
Today makes exactly two years since I've joined Hertz. I can tell you right now that I regretted joining within the first six months, but by now I feel it was probably one of the biggest mistakes in my life. I thought I was leaving my old job for a... — read more

So, what do we think?
Get your head out of the sand
Whoever is still employed and singing the company’s praise has got to be in denial. EVERYONE and I mean EVERYONE knows the company is a dumpster fire waiting to be put out. There are two ways this is going to end for those who still remain. You will... — read more
Hertz is done
Country shuts down. Bankrupt. Business down 75%. Lost State Farm. Denied stock sales and bonuses from the courts. Oversold fleet. Closed all car sales permanently. Delisted. Business still down 50%. AND HERE COMES ANOTHER SHUT DOWN. (and liquidation... — read more
I want my raise
Screw $500. I don't get all those employees who are cheering that they got a bonus. It would have been better to get a freaking raise. How can anyone be satisfied with it? This is such a sad way to keep the masses happy with breadcrumbs while those... — read more
Bonus
Bottom feeder (flex reps) are getting a $500.00 bonus guess that was part of the 8 billion.
How much of that will go into executives pockets, I wonder?
Too much, obviously. Hertz Global Holdings Secures A $4 Billion Commitment For Fleet Financing To Support A Refreshed And Robust Vehicle... — read more

The future of the company
I saw some speculation on this forum that the entire company will be shut down by the middle of next year. On the other hand, I have now checked - Hertz has 1,224 jobs open in the US alone. That doesn’t make much sense to me. I agree that we are... — read more
Textbook Case of Terrible Leadership
Hertz Global will be forever discussed in business classrooms from Community College to Harvard on how a terrible management culture can destroy an iconic brand. The Hertz cesspool of favoritism from HLE to AP operations and must we forget the filthy... — read more
Hertz delisted from NYSE
Hope you weren't hanging on to any worthless stock. It finally hit the fan today
Hertz plans on borrowing $4 billion
$4 billion to spruce up fleet, digging a deeper and deeper hole.
Do you really believe?
C’mon guys. Does anyone in the company REALLY believe our leaders need another bonus to fix the mess we are in? Isn’t that the reason they were hired? Instead they feel entitled to more and have done absolutely nothing in return to help save the... — read more
Covid surge worldwide
With covid surging again world wide and winter travel season in danger, will Hertz have to keep shrinking to survive? The $1.7 billion loan is helpful but again it's borrowed money. How much more can you borrow to survive through another wave of... — read more
Hertz won't exist in a year
There won't even be a swan song. This Titanic is ready to sink and there's no stopping it. If you're smart, you'll be gone before that happens.
8 million in bonuses
Who is getting them?
Will everybody know on November 5?
I know people whose locations are closing will know by November 5 they are affected, but what about the rest of us? We know layoffs will be much wider - will it all be done on that date or will we have to wait longer to find out? I seriously doubt... — read more
Mass layoff for Car Sales incoming
You heard it here first... sorry guys.
November cuts
Are they happening? Who'll be affected?
Hertz May Be Buying Cars...
But we finally have 1 less Porsche!
Apollo has Hertz in chokehold
The Apollo DIP loan is a joke. Apollo has Hertz nutz in a vise. Paul is so desperate!
Financing Has Come Through!
More than 1.65BB dollars coming in. The champagne corks are popping in Estero and Big Bob is salivating as he makes his way to the trough.
Top 30 locations
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
