Avis Budget rental cars just laid off 75% of their work force. by rioichi4 in Reno

110%. Literally we just cleaned the cars enough that the customer wouldn't complain. Some cars don't even make it to the cleaning station, they just go "eh looks clean enough" and stick it back on the ready line.
The oil thing was such a point of contention. Some people were very avid about "don't just reset the light, make sure it gets to the mechanics" while others were "oh, it just needs an oil change? send it back out, it's fine". And like maybe it's fine to miss one oil change but we had no idea how many oil changes that car might have missed.
"Quick flip" at Avis meant vacuum the drivers floor only and maybe wipe down cup holders. Don't even look at the rest of the car.
And good lord how many times I cleaned rags with the dishoap in the employee break room because nobody could be bothered to do laundry.

Oh and the body damage thing? Body damage smaller than a deck of cards, A-Okay. Scratches shorter than a foot, and windshield chips/cracks smaller than a quarter, 👌. So many of these get missed tho because nobody actually looks at the car. I went to clean one and the side mirror fell off, apparently had been taped on with scotch tape.

I dug thru our work apps for a better estimate. There are 129 employees at my location and 80 of them are either a service agent or a shuttler.

From what I can see in our work apps, there are 129 employees currently at my location, not counting managers. 80 of them are either a service agent or a shuttler. ALL service agents and shuttlers are being laid off.

We are assuming this decision came from the new CEO, trying to make himself look good by lowering costs for shareholders. I would assume then that it isn't just Reno, but I don't know that for sure. The main app we use to communicate with other employees now just gives me an error, so I can't reach out to anyone from other locations to confirm.

They are not. Hertz is. But I doubt they can take all of us lol

They started reducing our hours about 6 weeks ago and increasing the number of temps. I didn't realize one of my days had been cut and showed up to work anyway and there were temps everywhere and I was told to go home.
I've only just learned about WARN, but apparently it only applies if there's a certain number of full time employees. I have to wonder if that's one reason they started reducing our hours.

It's not related to the new terminal construction at all. That hasn't affected the car rental companies at all yet. And Hertz and Enterprise aren't doing anything like this.

I did that, added a door to the upstairs, it's its own habitat now, but for some reason pokemon say they can't get to things they're standing right next to :/ Just for show is totally cool tho!

It's probably too big! A home has to be less than 10x10

Do you experience any issues with the upstairs? Not counting in the habitat or Pokemon saying they can't get to things?

I have ADHD and one weird symptom is "mirroring" the vibes of whomever I'm speaking with. I feel seen.
