Cologne - The RTL move from Aachen to Deutz road - now it becomes a total Chaos.Für this summer it was agreed the handover of the building until the end of the year, all employees into their new offices in the old warehouses have moved into the Rhine. Again and again the event had been postponed. Original move-in date: the 1st April 2008.
And now the move has failed again. RTL burst the collar!
EXPRESS is an internal letter from the executive floor to Managing Director Anke Schäferkordt to the employees. It is announced: The parade begins in 2010, lasted approximately six months from the start. The station bosses are pissed about 2,000 people annoyed.
For the General Contractors Hochtief make "again and again promises are not kept. Contractually guaranteed delivery dates pass without that we can take over the area. "
The delays had "reached a level that is unacceptable to us. In addition, the most extensive loss of confidence comes in the announcement of policy by Hochtief. "Meanwhile, the fourth official deadline had passed. Big row in the building!
RTL are as basic to many shortcomings in the work: "Basic requirements such as uninterruptible power supply, air conditioning, the completion of construction of additional equipment rooms, cable routes, ceilings and floors ... even the security technology are not guaranteed until today.
