| | | Hello from a native!
Hi Guys!
I'm Swiss and I decided to sign up here to potentially help out people who want to settle, or just have, in Switzerland. Specifically with legal questions, as far as I can. And to refresh my English, which has become rusty over the past few years...
Altough I think the Swiss Law in general is quite fair, there are some businesses specifically exploiting the clueless-ness (didn't find a better word :P) of foreigners living here. I want to counteract on that.
Regards!

Thx. I hope not. But if there is something more dubious worth writing about, then yes.

I've already got used to it. I don't worry too much when my argument is not enough, just hand it to a lawyer. Actually this sucks, ruins the picture of Switzerland as a good place for a living. I just hope it'll end once I get the Swiss passport 
Oh, to be honest, I have to clarify that I've never been abused by a Swiss person. Somehow the foreigners think it's right or it's possible to abuse foreigners

Don't expect too much, it won't end  Happens to me as a Swiss as well. And funny enough, so far I have mostly been screwed over by Swiss Businesses 
But to be fair, it happens everywhere in the world. Egoism is everywhere, and capitalism makes the problem even worse...

I guess it affect me more since I moved here because the money involved is bigger, not just a hand of peanuts and a banana. Capitalism, problems and money come together  |
