Basically, I am going to try and negotiate my redundancy, and I think this company will do it as it will most likely be to a mutual agreement. They can say something like restructure, which is pretty much what it is. I have a 2 month Kundigungsfrist.

I would be looking at around 5K a month on 70%, thats no drama on our joint income. I don't expect a job in a hurry because I have a law enforcement background, and I am not a CH citizen. This could end up proving rather interesting, because in 7 months I am eligible to apply for facilitated naturalisation. Question is, can I then apply for EJPD or KAPO jobs whilst my application is in progress, and if I can, would those applications have any effect on the expedience of naturalisation.

The problem with my company is that their higher management have actually very little front-line experience in their industry, which is relatively new to CH. They are now implementing what I call "Swiss tenure", that as soon as they consider an ex-pat expendable they get squeezed out and replaced by a "local" with limited or no relevant experience.
