Re: Straight Talk From the Top: An Interview With Andy Taylor, CEO of Enterprise Rent Quote: Originally Posted by formereracian Are all of you nuts or just misinformed?

Grow up, his family started the company and made a whole ton of people rich so his family has the right to continue management. Is your assertion that the company and its employees would be better off if Jack or Andy handed the company over to the public in the form of stock? If so, how many rental companies that are publicly owned have turned a profit over the last five years combined, 0. So while Hertz is being sold and companies like Alamo/National continue to combine their forces (fire half their employees) Enterprise is one of the very few companies out there that has yet to lay off one person. You're right, Andy really knows how to screw up a company. I don't even work there anymore but you people are just idiots! | ask our commrades in germany about not getting laid off |
