Re: Switching employers with B permit
An expat contract is usually project or otherwsie time limited and changing jobs on the resulting permit is not allowed. Your new employer would normally need to start from scratch.
However, there are plenty of examples where, with the support of both existing and new employers, people have managed to move to a new role in Switzerland in special circumstances. Being fired while on assignment is one of them.
Your new employer must, however, be prepared to put some effort in and you require the written support of your existing employer stating that it's circumstances beyond your or their control, no fault of yours, upstanding guy, etc etc.
It's a difficult process with no guarantee of success but worth a try.
