Thread regarding Hertz layoffs

Hertz is gasping for air as it smells its own stinky farts!

The facts: On April 24, it was reported that Hertz would start working with debt restructuring advisors, as its $17 billion in debt (966% debt-to-equity ratio) was viewed as potentially unsustainable.

With the effect of the pandemic becoming clear, Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas cut his price target for Hertz Global from $5.00 to $2.00.

The old broad running this joke of a company needs to quit. She allowed the AP and HLE leaders destroy the company by turning a blind eye to the frat boy culture of excessive expense accounts, travel, and payroll to support failing locations. She hired a flunky to run US AP operations, and the former (very odd) head bobbing international blabbermouth she brought in to run HR was not only bafoonish, but he did nothing to change the broken cess pool of a work culture that is evident at every AP location. Now the company is being sued by salaried managers for improper classification and OT fraud. Company has a dirty stinky diaper, and nobody is going to help change it!

Scorecard was such a joke. You knew who was "making" the numbers look good. They got away wit it and all the praise so why not do it. Now every I mean every location manipulated utilization, customer surveys you name it. Even a 10 year old know how to use VPN, never caught me doing hundred of surveys a month!

Some CEO's are not the most competent, but they thrive because they surround themselves with great people. Clearly Kathy has not done that so thus the spiral of decline started well before the pandemic. On the HLE side so much pressure to perform had GM's and AM's turning a blind eye to fraud to meet their targets. The most clueless HLE leaders were in the west where favoritism led to many people leadership roles that had no business in those roles. The RVP at the time who has been "moved" to a new opportunity was a key to the fall of the operations.The lackeys that were promoted barely lasted a year before they were shown the door. Like a fly on the wall I have been watching the decline every day.

This pandemic just sped up the inevitable. Having that much debt is just a big issue. Hertz would have declared bankrupt most likely end of the year maybe next. Also the rental car industry in general is kind of a mess. The rates are just too long and they are trying to use optional services to help make up the losses.

Airport General Managers spent more time trying to game the scorecard than make any real progress on increasing revenue and lowering operating costs. Parking Cargo vans in PC and keying in fake cars, taking fake surveys, adding FPO at the gates without consent, charging random customers for smoking and keys, parking dirty cars to make openers, and all the shenanigans at the counter.
