Thread regarding Hertz layoffs

Paid to sit at home

Hertz will enthusiastically fork over a six-figure salary for the prestigious privilege of “leading” people on Teams—usually squeezed somewhere between your mid-morning nap, your daily Starbucks pilgrimage, your hair appointment, a quick load of laundry, a light workout, a heart-to-heart with your work-from-home spouse, and—naturally—your semi-professional pickleball training.

All while the company is basically on fire. Why visit a location when you can watch the flames from the comfort of your couch? Besides, going onsite requires effort, pants, and possibly arranging a babysitter. Absolutely not.

And here’s the best part: you too can snag one of these do-nothing, add-no-value positions. The secret formula? Olympic-level a-s-kissing, a PhD in micromanagement, and the uncanny ability to write “notes” like you’re transcribing a Supreme Court hearing.

Wondering how to land one of these cushy roles? Easy. Hertz will invent a work-from-home, zero-deliverables, six-figure job just for you—as long as they like you. So warm up that nose, dust off those “Excel skills,” and practice looking extremely busy while accomplishing absolutely nothing.

Dreams really do come true.

@ve 100% agree with you. I’ve seen this too many times. I have seen extremely valuable people go due to poor leadership decisions.

@r3 Well yeah if you move someone without an increase and especially if they have zero interest in the new team of course they are going to leave. Do you think you can just treat people like sh-t and they will stick around? I have seen them move people who didn't want to move and they gave them sh---y jobs. To them they feel like they are being punished and it doesn't help if they can see they are being lied to. In fact of all the people I have seen be moved against their will they were never happy with the change. Every single example their morale was destroyed, the conditions of the new role was worse, and either their performance dropped to the point they were let go or they quit because the job was destroying their mental health and well being. The only successful moves were when someone was promoted in the process but how often does that happen? People know when they are being appreciated or unwanted. Most of the moves are just a sneaky way to fire someone without paying out severance or unemployment by getting people to quit on their own.

@n7 you’ve also had people that were “role eliminated” but we need you to stay and want you to go to this department with no change in salary or anything and then that person STiLL leaves. Has happened quite a few times and I’m still in Estero since before COVID.

@m7 No I have seen examples where some key people resigned and leadership made an attempt to keep them. I have also seen many examples of people thinking they were awesome but they were actually dog sh-t and we celebrated when they finally left. If you had a proven track record of high performance and were told you were a key person it would be pretty easy to assume leadership would still want you around. I have personally had leadership tell me they don't want me to leave. To be clear this was at Estero not in the field and I have been around since before covid.

@g3 you must be a car parker because clearly you are half r*tarded. The person I was replying to said they "thought Hertz would wake IF THEY resigned..."

My point was this was a foolish assumption and they should have known better. Anyone who has been here a while would have known better.

Hertz does not care at all about retaining talent, even talent that has been here since Park Ridge opened it's doors.

@cy you must not have a very long tenure, or you have a very inflated opinion of yourself. ANYONE who has been at Hertz for more than 10 years has seen nothing but talent upon talent, upon historical knowledge leave this company and it NEVER, EVER sparks a conversation. Literally no one cares when someone leaves, who they were, or how they performed.

I guarantee your name stopped being mentioned the minute you carried your box out of the building......and NOT ONE PERSON CARES OR IS THINKING ABOUT YOU. WELCOME TO HERTZ

@cj The worst part of leaving Hertz is no one cares you left. You can be a powerhouse of productivity and improvements but when you finally have enough of being underpaid/ignored/lied to and resign absolutely no one gives a sh-t you left. I honestly thought if I resigned the leadership would wake up and realize everything I said was true but they just don't care. You would think the leadership would realize their mistake after talent has left but no matter what happens they will never admit they were the reason the talent left and they will never try to make things right. As long as these parasites keep getting a check they don't care if they ram this titanic right into the iceberg.

You basically described 70% of corporate roles. Walk into Estero and it’s a ghost town. They are all out shopping, floating in their pools, smoking weed or taking naps. There’s less than 20 people I have respect over their hard work to “keep the lights on” some of which left the company frustrated as he-l with the disfunction in the company. Hertz is doomed.

At least remove the em dashes next time you need Chat GPT to create an unoriginal thought for you 🤡
