"Lego" project: Tamedia wants to abolish permanent jobs
Tamedia aims to become the first major media company to eliminate all fixed workstations. Instead, employees across the group will work only in assigned zones equipped with adjustable furniture.
To this end, the company has launched the "Lego" project, as the Handelszeitung reported. Thanks to cloud-based systems, staff should be able to work on the move, in external offices or from home.
Employees criticize the plans. They fear that the company wants to move them to home offices in order to save work space in the office buildings. The mistrust is fueled by the fact that the company management is considering giving up the glass media building on the Werdareal site in Zurich. Tamedia spokesperson Christoph Zimmer emphasizes that the "Lego" project is not location-dependent. It is more a question of how to work together in the future and what flexibility is required.
