Scherr’s salary was $182 million, 3rd highest for a CEO in the US at the time. I could have happily screwed up the company at least that badly for half that amount.
Managers that manage are seen as losers. You are correct without exception.
WOW! did not know that.
Blame the board for promoting his arrogance and stupidity
Please explain. Shut off by whom? Do hybrids have that same feature?
I don’t know, but Steven Wright had a joke about speed-reading and hitting a bookmark which knocked him across the room.
It was a fad / trend, and America is a nation of extremes.
“Everything the government/leftist touch turns to sh*t!”
So, that’s why the Union Government was preserved for a mere 700,000 human lives.
Gas stations near airports jack up the prices to gouge people returning car rentals.
I get that the company needed the CEO to fall on his sword, but who were the corporate board members that approved this idiotic plan? Hertz has a lot more housecleaning to do, if they manage to survive.
Here’s an idea: Drive an EV down that stretch of I-70 in Utah that has 106 miles between services. In the wintertime.
When I was much younger, I worked at a corporate chain of restaurants that would roll out the "new dish of the month" that would be a sensation for a month or two, and then settle into irrelevance. But the restaurant staff would still have to deal with the one or two orders a month, which was a giant pain in the keester.
I called it "another yuppie gets his condo", in reference to the up-and-coming management hotshot that was making a name for himself or herself.
Like the Zimmerman and Rittenhouse verdicts, those informed on the right look on and say, “DUH!”
I hope the ChiComs lose their Obamas over the EV plants they are building in Old Mehico.
“The I-95 elites think the whole country can just hop a bus or train to get where they need to go.”
Of course they use chauffeur driven limos.
Government is the main force pushing EVs, let’s wait til government reverses course before declaring victory.
These are the predictable results of the first wave of gullible, over-educated and under-experienced snowflakes with absolutely zero critical thinking skills to assume C suite positions. And I think this level of decision making is the best we’ll see for the next several decades.
The automakers saw the success Tesla was having and tried to follow“
That is just a part of it. When Traitor Joe stole 20 he told them he was going to regulate ICE cars off the roads. He had both houses and they had every reason to believe that is exactly what he would do. So to survive they started the painful transition. 3 years and billions in losses later they are screwed but good. In hindsight they should have spent their money fighting the fascist rats in court.
I used to work for one of the largest phone companies in the nation. I was asked to drive 300 miles to Chicago by a new manager in California. I said ok, and gave him my ETA. He was shocked about how long it would take and said. Well looking at a map. You are 2 inches away….
1. It’s highly competitive, and very difficult for individual companies to sell themselves as a premium value to customers.
2. You’re renting an asset on a short-term basis, and your customers have no incentive to treat those assets well.
3. A big part of your original customer base — business travelers who rented cars at airports on business trips — are now using Uber and Lyft instead.
Where’s Gomer expressing “Surprise!” when you need him?
