Not always...I gave 2 weeks and they spent the next 2 weeks trying to offer me other positions.

I was told by someone in HR, she was told by her old HR Manager that they always contest unemployment. "We feel that we let the person go for the right reasons and they are not entitled to unemployment."

I am right now on the fence to decide what to do. I am a current branch manager and I had a work restriction limiting my hours available for work, I get fatigued. I can only work 4-5 hour days right now. (not 11hrs as per the usual). They tell me since I have exausted my FMLA leave, I have to forfiet my position and if I want to stay with the company they have a porter position open that is part time. Which I can't do becuase that is more strenuous. I was not offered to take a leave of absence to recover. I was not offered an alternative working arrangement. I was told this is the only option availalbe. If I can't do that and no other positions open then we would have to part ways.

Before anyone assumes that I have been underperforming... I have had over $100 op for the last 6 out of 7 months. I have increased ipc by over $70 per car. I had the highest op for December. So it is not performance reasons. I have had 4 area managers and 3 city managers in the past 2 years. I don't particularly care for the current area managers attitude toward certain things. (Neither do other area managers according to a source) The saying "The squeaky wheel gets all the grease" does not apply at Enterprise.
It should be "The exposed nail gets hammered back in." If it sticks out again they pull it out.

So I have to decide to let them terminate me becuase I can't work the position they need me to, that I have held for over a year. Or I quit recouperate and find another job.

They can't get me on performance so they use this tactic to get me to quit or terminate me. No one at enterprise is untouchable. If they look hard enough they can find a way to get rid of you.

For those of you who are in the system and a yes man. Remember Enterprise is one of the "50 best companies" to start your career. Funny how only a handful of people "retire" every year. My area and city's retention is down to less than 50% combined.

I was told by an ex-Area manager "When they(HR/Company) do it once and get away with it, they do it again.

I think all those who have left and have moved on to happier times need to get together and network to get jobs for others who want out. (much like the matrix) Just show them the truth of the real world.

Your just not capable of renting cars. As far as other companies, I work for one of the larger Drug companies, that is also family owned. We love ex-enterprise employees. In fact, we prefer that our sales people have at least 1-2years of Enterprise experience. I worked for Enterprise about 10 years ago. My sister works there now as a City Manager. She lives in a bigger house than me and drives a Porshe on the weekends. I come to this site to see what poor employees are talking about so when I interview them I know which ones will fail at my company and I know not to hire them either.

Don't believe a word you say. Which means you must have been telling the truth about working for ERAC at somepoint in the past or currently.

I would call up your state labor relations board. In some states it is illegal to let someone go for a medical condition. Most times, they must prove they are making legitimate efforts to replace the work you can't do, with work you can do, and can't demote you as a result. From a company standpoint it sucks, but from the human perspective, like you say, why should your financial or work stability be affected as a result of a condition you more then likely attained as a result of the work you were doing? Your responsibility in this is that you can prove you are actively taking steps to improve your medical condition, and being cooperative with legitimate requests of the company.

All that said, that's for a normal company. It amazes me how ERAC lies to their employees, lies to the government, and finds ways not to get caught breaking laws, instead of proactively seeking out ways to better the company, if for no other reason than because "it's the right thing to do".

Same here, they were trying their hardest to give me a position in Fleet Services.

You must not own any stock or you would know that is not true. Much much larger companies have bitten the dust: Enron-nearly $400 Billion now gone, MCI $300 billion now gone, Delta Airlines once valued at $150 Billion emerging from Bankruptcy next month. Now the new bankruptcies coming up are the sub prime mortgage lenders Prime America $122 Billion now delisted and facing bankruptcy, New Century $60 Billion plus going down the drain.

The big three GM Ford and Chrysler are on the skids and speculation of bankruptcy are rife. GM was once valued at nearly 500 billion. In the mid fifties, Charlie Wilson former CEO of GM was quoted "Whats good for GM is Good for America-I guess we are all seeing that in spades now.

Do you have any idea what you are trying to say. The fact that you brought up ENRON that was never worth anything beside on paper is evident of that. The used car market at it's worth is still a great business. The new car market is the tuff one. They don't sell new cars so they have nothing to worry about. Accidents will never stop, so they have nothing to worry about. Hertz, their biggest threat is run by people who have no idea what they are doing. Avis has not desire to get involved in replacement on a serious level. Yeah, ERAC will be around for quite some time, I would guess forever. 20 Billion in the next 10 years. That is 100% growth from where they stand today. Have fun trying to fight a battle you will never win. Why do you care anyway? Go find success and stop hating. You sound like a little baby. Waa Waa

I know perfectly what I said. Yes, ENRON was worth a lot on paper but was still worth more than ERAC in real assets-pipelines, transmission lines, generating plants ect (something you never learned because you didn't study accounting) to the tune of nearly 100 billion. And several million people lost more money than Enterprise is worth many times over.
You said that "10 Billion dollar companies just don't go out of business" I called you out and named several large companies that bit the dust, and you just call names. Typical clone response-Next.
