Airbnb gives their laid-off employees a minimum of 14 weeks + 1 week for every year of employment severance and health insurance for a year, while Enterprise gives us a week per year, backdates two weeks of our severance, and cuts off health insurance. Screw you, Enterprise!

I received 2 weeks severance per year. I worked for Enterprise 2 years. I was in the first round of layoffs. I wasn't required to be paid my 7 CT and 10 VAC when I was furloughed on 3/30, but was paid for all 17 paid days on 5/1 after I was laid off permanently on 4/30.
Some people have said their 2 weeks furlough pay was deducted from their severance. Mine was not. After reading some posts, it seems like Enterprise concentrated on removing the more expensive employees first. Even though I was there only 2 years, my performance provided me very good wages, plus I was carrying dependent insurance, which is quite expensive for an employer. I will be joining several other older jobless workers and taking early retirement. I wish everyone the best through everything going on.
How many actually got 1 week per year? Over 22 years and receiving equivalent to 15 weeks. Tried negotiating and was shot down like a terrorist.
You can get unemployment along with severance. Including extra 600. Don’t know why you’ve been told differently.
Lead Driver for 6 Remarketing Drivers, covering 4 states, for 4 years. On March 30, "See ya'..." . Then the Choice Time (?) payments trickled in . What a me$$. Hoping airlines will soon fly again. Then, maybe we'll, "fly again". A "sweet job" for those of us needing to supplement our Social Security.
I worked for Enterprise years ago and really loved it. I wished they loved me back. In those days, diversity was really lacking. If your a Star Trek Fan, I would known as two of three.
f— yo couch
Screw your positivity
I was called back to work. Hope you guys will too.
Honestly this company can go f**k itself. They make you buy into its b—s— family atmosphere and k–l yourself working there for years. Honestly Chrissy Taylor is a joke and I hope Hertz goes Bankrupt so the used car market is flooded then Enterprise will take even larger losses on the cars they have when trying to flip them. Bottom line you are a number at this company and not part of any family. When it came down to it who did they choose you or the money. Hell not even furlough with our basic health benefits. A terrible company to work for and a terrible company to lease cars from. Hope the company fails.
To further screw us over, they didn't even give us our severance as a "lump sum payment," as most companies do. Instead, they continue to pay us on a bi-weekly basis until it's exhausted, which means we can't collect unemployment, and the extra money from the CARES act that goes with it, until our severance is exhausted. Like me, many former employees I've talked to had planned to use that lump sum severance payment to get out of debt before things get worse, or else to have a back-up savings account, for when needed. Instead, we have to use the severance pay for our monthly expenses and just lose the $600 per week that would have been attached to the unemployment pay we can't collect. And, since the CARES money will be given out only through July, many former employees who had served the company for decades won't get any of it, since their slowly parceled out severance pay will continue beyond July. Enterprise takes away the livelihood of thousands of employees, refuses to give us our severance package, upfront, and, in the process, takes away a government benefit that could have been lifesaving for so many families. But I'm sure the Taylor family is still worth billions, and will continue to receive kudos for their charitable activities, even though their charity apparently doesn't begin at home.
Ya been hoodwinked! Bamboozled! Led astray!
Where's the pic?
I was flabbergasted to be told without notice that I no longer had a job and would only have health care for 12 more days. I really feel like the way they handled our lay off was nothing less than uncaring.
It's taking everything I have, to not to get in the fetal position and cry
That's correct. Cancelled health insurance immediately. one week per year and off you go. Thanks
You guys were dumb–ses for believing the Taylors gave a c-ap about any of you. Why do you think they paid off their cfo in the mid 2000’s. Because he knew of their shady finances and they canceled their plans to go public.
Just remember ...you are employees not family... no matter what line they fed you
It is ironic that a "family run" company treats its employees in a manner worse than most people would consider acting towards a complete stranger on the street.
