Where will they fit into the original data center?

    C.T. They are moving to an open concept combing 4 groups into one big combined area. A lot of employees are NOT happy about this. Also, some of the groups, not too much, is relocating to Estero. The Data Center will be stuffed like a bunch of sardines.

    My wife talked to a lady she knows that still works there. She is VERY happy she took a severance package and left a few years ago. She says she would hate what they’re planning.

    They could free up some space by taking out the fitness center they put in a few years ago in building 1.

    MadMonk,
    Apparently you are a former Hertz employee. Do I know you? I worked for Hertz (off and on) from 1973 till I retired 2004.

    Yessir, I was there in a couple different capacities; the last was in IT from 2006-2010. Was a facilities grunt for a brief run ending in '94.

    MadMonk,
    I was IT the whole time. I worked on the reservation system and my main responsibility was the rate system. I also was responsible for the emergency road system. We probably ran onto each other sometime.

    They must have gotten a great deal on that paint after the Country Inn & Suites down the road got painted gray.

    This has to be surprising for the people who worked for Hertz prior to the early 2000s. Seems like management was almost obsessed with keeping a low profile in Oklahoma City.

    Maybe it's "the last hurrah" for Hertz in Oklahoma. I will say, John Hertz started Yellow Cab Company and went to specialists to select a color for his cars and the Hertz yellow was what he was told would attract consumers. However I don't think he ever painted any rental cars or buildings with that color. I'm not sure why they painted at all. The rusted steel always looked good. Conservative, not an attention getter but it fit in well with the area. Anybody know how many positions are being transferred to Florida?

    I don't believe too many, but there was a small layoff this morning.

    Bellaboo,
    Any idea what functions? I'm assuming it was a group of people from the same department.

    It was a random smattering through out. Not many, but typically old timers. The Mrs only knew one person from Fleet who had been there for 32 years. BTW, she's retiring in April after 41 and a half years.... time to go.

    Default Hertz Bankruptcy

    I've got a good number of friends who were long time employees of Hertz and were
    laid off recently.

    The bankruptcy filing is not surprising, I just hate to see it.

    On the plus side we should see a gazillion of like new ex-rental cars on the sale lots
    very soon. I may consider buying one if the price is right.

    I'd like to think that's the case but airplanes are parked just like the rental cars are filled to the gills at the rental lots, I was working at an airport this week and I passed by so many rentals, and just thought how easy 1 car could disappear, but I think they'll thin the rental cars out as things fire back up and the current fleet will be ridden hard until the new cars arrive.

    Article says primary shareholder was Carl Icahn. Interesting.

    Ward,
    Unlikely, they are filing under chapter 11, so they don't plan on going out of business. Regardless, they are already the largest used car dealer in the country. By the way, I'm a Hertz retiree (not that it matters).

    Honestly, I do not really blame them since they do not want to deal with burnt clutches when customers return the rental
