HENRY HONG SLEEPS WITH HIS EMPLOYEES

I have seen it happen with other companies, intelligent ones, humble ones. Enterprise is not humble. They are literally like the USS ENTERPRISE, a war machine. A vessal of destruction. No weakness can be shown. You leave, you are the enemy. You do not get to come back to Enterprise, unless you come begging. And then maybe you get to come back, but then somehow that has to bite you in the ass. But it worked for Andy Church years ago. He left and went to Texas Instruments, but I really don't know the whole story. But I agree, Lordi is not coming back. And neither is anyone else. And Mattone could care less. Seriously, he could care less. Cold man that guy.

So Judson Andrew Church left to work for Texas Instruments years ago. Surprised any rational man would have no pride to go back to ERAC but if any Church's making $3M/year why not?

Maybe if ERAC was a publicly-traded company they wouldn't be treating their employees like this. If they were a publicly traded company and if word gets around that ERAC treats employees like shit the public's confidence in ERAC will plummet and so will their stock. No wonder why ERAC wants to stay privately owned by Asshole Andy Taylor.

Come on, you think public comapanies treat thier employees any better? You are clearly young in the business world. Don't argue with me here, I mean no offense to you, but it is not any better. Fact. The public knows Enterprise sucks, they don't need any more proof than renting a car from Enterprise. And moneky people...don't you dare throw your silly ESQi numbers at me. All nonsense.

Don and Henry didn't like him and was looking for the right opportunity to can him, as far as I'm concerned their choice.

In the process they killed the goose that laid multiple golden eggs as well as driving other good people out and now look what's happening to the region. I bet they're kicking themselves right now for firing Rich but the damage is already done. They'll throw themselves at his feet that they need him back but he's not coming back.

Whether you loved or hated him (I for one couldn't stand his big mouth) either way you respected him. And considering the subject of this thread and names mentioned we all know the truth about why Lordi was shit-canned.

Very well said. Don did not like him simply because Rich refused to stand for his constant bullshit. As for Henry, lets be realistic. I work in Admin, and many people were aware that Henry was sleeping with Danielle. We all knew something was fishy when Rich was fired. I remember walking into a certain department heads office and being shown an e-mail from Mattone stating Rich was fired and that no one was permitted to talk about it. Right then and there I knew Lordi caught a raw deal. Ironically, the collapse of EE started with the firing of Rich. I agree he had a big mouth, but boy did he ever back it up. I speak for many up in Admin when i say, Lordi and his spark are deeply missed at a time when this region moral is so low. And I agree, he had the respect of many employees something Don, Henry, and Mattone certainly dont have right now. Its not the Enterprise way to offer Lordi his job back but I personally feel that it is not only the right thing to do, but is also necessary! Rich is the only guy I know that has balls enough to go into Mattone's office and speak his mind about EE sinking. And thats why i respect him. And I agree with the Simon & Garfunkle song: Where have you Rich Lordi, EE turns its lonely eyes on you!

First off, Lordi is a good guy. Ok. Second, EE did not start sinking when Lordi left. It started sinking about one year ago when Dereck Maguire left. And when Sandy K left. And when Jonathan Rudin left. Third off, I can assure you, Rich Lordi was not the only soul with balls to tell share an opinion with John Mattone about BS. Of course, none of those people work here anymore. A guy named Phil Moses had bigger balls than Lordi. There is a guy who spoke truth. Holy shit. And Mattone liked him.

Rich Lrodi Did not make 24EE and he most certianly has nothing to do with the moral or the state of affairs in 24EE. Enterprise is making less money so the employees are making less money. When you bust your but for 50 to 60 hours a week and make less money it is difficult to stay on the Happy Pills.

One person does not make or break any company or any team. There have been some very good managers let go that had the respect of their employees. These folks were all level III and they were good leaders a guy like lordi that puts up numbers was not a good leader. He was a numbers guy nothing more, and that is not a shot a lordi... It is a fact... I would take Five Jonathans, Brooks, Maguires and Koenigs..

Becasue Good leaders are rare numbers guys are a dime a dozen.... and with the talent pool in 24EE branch Managers stable right now it is not hard to be a top performer agianst your peers..

Lets face it this is a market driven business... You will always get better numbers in the north Branches if they put any of the top managers from the north into the south they would not be studs any more... it is a different market with different Clientel...

Bottom line is Enterprise as a whole needs to start acting like a 10 billion dollar company and paying employees more money and make the hours more appealing.... I work in Admin and I can tell you that Hours and the money are the problem... and this flex time is not the anwer.. 9 to 5 for hours and more money and not pennies.... If they do not address this they will loose all the Good people like Dan Sakalaris... If you want to through names out there use his not LORDIS>>>> Because Dan was a Class act all the Way.. Eve in his departure.. He is A six figure employee and he was paid peanuts at Enterprise..

Think about it ... If the region makes 1 million in a month that is after all payroll is taken out... That milllion Goes right to St Louis so they can Buy trees.... HMMMMMMMM i hope these trees can rent cars... WE WORK HARD AND WE REWARD HARD WORK>>>>> START LIVING IT AND STOP SAYING it ENTERPRISE>>>> PAY THE GOOD PEOPLE AND FIRE THE BAD ONES>>>> PLAIN AND SIMPLE>> DOES ANdY CHURCH REALLY NEED ALL OF THE MONEY HE HAS GOT>>>AT THIS POINT HE IS JUST SETTING UP TRUST FOR HIS FAMILY>>> WHILE MOST OF HIS EMPLOYEES In THIS group are strugling to pay their mortgage.. I heard one of our area managers had to borrow money off another one just to cover his mortgage... How motivaded are people going to be to get his job when he can not pay his bills..More money more money more money.......

on a closing note,,,, How come we have mangers that have gotten DWI's while others have been fired for less.... We need responible leaders not just numbers guys... Think about it..

I cant sleep and decided to look at this site cause its been a while. This discussion really caught my eye. I am a current employee. I agree and disagree with this post. I agree that 1 man can not make or break a region. I agree that Lordi was a numbers guy. I worked for him and I feel like I understand him better than most. I 100% disagree that he is not a good leader. He put up big numbers because he was a good leader. It was not luck. He made the people around him better and thats what made his numbers good. Isnt that what great leaders do?? He was one of the best at motivating people and he treated his staff real good. Don't get me wrong he demanded alot but he knew how to take care of his people. I remember him taking us to dinners in Manhatten and always reaching into his own pocket to take care of us. Furthermore, when I was having family problems he was right there for me. I completely disagree too that numbers guys are a dime a dozen. If that were the case, every manager would be making lots of money, EE would not be in this current crisis mode, and we would not be discussing how EE desperately misses guys like Lordi. I do agree that people leave cause the hours are way too long and the pay is a joke. I can not remember the last time the managers got a base pay raise, $600/week just is not cutting it.

I just can not believe how EE is getting killed here. It was untouchable for so long. Lordi, he might have been respected in his own area, or branch, but I assure you he was not a force behind the collapse. The Level III's from the south were the beginning of the end for EE. These people, between the four that left in the past year had over 6o years of Enterprise experiance. Did they struggle at times? Sure. Were they perfect? no. Is anybody? Bottom line is that John Mattone did not like them. Only he knows why, anyone else would just be speculating. What business man in his right mind would just let 60+ years of rental car business experiance just walk out the door? It makes no sense. Can someone explain it to me? Anyone?

EE is now a lost cause just like the others, I guess people like Andy Church wants them to be just like all the other regions in the group which is clusterfuck from top to bottom. Personally I don't think John Mattone "didn't like" Sandy and all the others that were pushed out, maybe he was given orders by those bastards in 2499 to push them out.

I know it's a strange theory but it's possible.

Bottom line: EE would be better off today with Lordi than without him. I think that is indisputable.

You are either Rich's gay lover, or Rich himself. Is this Rich Lordi?
