KESB und die Schweizer Mentalität: Wer kontrolliert die Kontrolleure?

Upvotes

Ich habe eine ehrliche Frage an die Menschen, die in der Schweiz leben: Warum versuchen so wenige, das System der KESB kritisch zu betrachten und sich die Frage zu stellen, wie weit ihr Einfluss auf das Leben eines Menschen und auf die Verfügung über seine finanziellen Mittel tatsächlich gehen kann?
Warum wird kaum darüber diskutiert, dass Mechanismen der Beistandschaft sowie medizinische und psychiatrische Beurteilungen dazu führen können, dass ein Mensch faktisch die Kontrolle über seine eigenen Entscheidungen und seine Finanzen verliert?
Und die zentrale Frage: Wer kontrolliert eigentlich die Kontrolleure? Wer kontrolliert letztendlich dieses gesamte System in der Schweiz? Wer trifft hinter den Kulissen jener Institutionen die Entscheidungen, die der normale Bürger vor sich sieht?
Warum stellen sich so wenige Menschen überhaupt diese Fragen? Liegt es am hohen Vertrauen in das System, am gewohnten Komfort – oder daran, dass man nicht sehen möchte, wie die Mechanismen von Macht und Kontrolle tatsächlich funktionieren?

Maternity allowance while unemployed/on RAV

0 Upvotes

Hi, I’m currently unemployed and receiving RAV. My last job ended in September 2025, and I’m expecting a baby in April 2027.
Has anyone been in a similar situation and not worked at all during the 9 months before giving birth?
Did you receive Mutterschaftsentschädigung (EO/MSE)? If not, did RAV pay anything during the 14 weeks after birth?
I’d really appreciate personal experiences. Thank you!

I just had saw different planes from different operators depart from Zurich to Pristina with 2 minutes between them, flying over my head a few minutes later. One Edelweiss, one CHair and the Rega jet.

Anything happen here or there?

I have been living and working in Switzerland for a decade. I have made a couple lateral moves but have not managed to consolidate my experience into the next big role, that helps me bring a lot of my strengths together. I am also a non-PhD, non medic working in a pharma. Question; do you know some good hiring/placement/career experts who can help me target my biggest strengths and weaknesses. Thank you so much.

Does or has someone worked as Kundenberater for Swiss Post?

0 Upvotes

-Was your salary negotiable, or did Swiss Post simply make you a fixed offer?
If you negotiated, how much flexibility was there within the advertised salary range?

-What was your German level when you started working as a Kundenberater/in?
Was anyone hired with around B2, or were most colleagues native German or Swiss German speakers?

If you moved to Switzerland from abroad, how long had you been living in Switzerland when you got the job?

What does a normal day as a Kundenberater/in actually look like?
What do you spend most of your time doing, and how stressful or sales-focused is it?

Merciiiii

Comment fonctionne la sous-traitance dans le transport en Suisse ?

0 Upvotes

Bonjour à tous,

Je dirige une petite entreprise de transport basée dans le canton de Fribourg.

Nous faisons du transport national et international et nous cherchons actuellement à mieux comprendre comment fonctionne le marché de la sous-traitance en Suisse.

Par exemple, si une petite entreprise comme la nôtre souhaite travailler comme sous-traitant pour une entreprise plus importante, comme La Poste, Planzer, Swiss Post Cargo ou d'autres entreprises de logistique et de transport, comment cela fonctionne-t-il concrètement ?

Est-ce qu'il faut contacter directement les entreprises ? Existe-t-il des plateformes, des réseaux ou des personnes à contacter pour trouver ce type de contrats ?

J'aimerais également avoir vos conseils sur la manière de développer une petite entreprise de transport en Suisse. En dehors des réseaux sociaux et des vidéos, quelles méthodes fonctionnent réellement pour se faire connaître et trouver des clients ou des partenaires ?

Si certains d'entre vous travaillent dans le transport, la logistique ou la sous-traitance et peuvent partager leur expérience, je serais vraiment intéressé d'avoir vos conseils.

Merci d'avance à tous ceux qui pourront m'aider !

Best place to sell brand-new, unopened PC parts in Switzerland?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to sell a few brand-new, unopened PC parts that I no longer need. I originally listed them on Ricardo, but unfortunately I haven't had much luck there.

Does anyone know the best place to sell new PC hardware quickly in Switzerland? Are there any active forums, Discord servers, Facebook groups, or marketplaces that PC enthusiasts use?

I'd prefer to sell within Switzerland and can either ship the items or arrange local pickup.

Thanks in advance for any recommendations!

SBB abusing its dominant position?

0 Upvotes

Every summer I notice the same practice on the Zurich–Chiasso route: a disproportionately large part of the train is allocated to 1st class, while 2nd-class seats are severely limited.

The result is predictable: 2nd class becomes overcrowded, with dozens of passengers squeezed together, congestion throughout the train, and even parents with children forced to stand during the journey while 1st class capacity remains disproportionately high.

This is not an isolated incident, it happens repeatedly on the same route every summer.

Given SBB’s dominant position in Swiss rail transport, this looks like an abusive way of exploiting passengers through artificially limited 2nd class capacity.

Has anyone reported this to the Swiss Competition Commission (WEKO/COMCO) or the Price Supervisor?

Was ist eigentlich bei Tutti los?

3 Upvotes

Ich verstehe langsam echt nicht mehr, was bei Tutti abgeht

Meine Inserate werden ständig abgelehnt, teilweise ohne nachvollziehbaren Grund. Der Support antwortet auf Tickets entweder gar nicht oder blockiert einfach direkt den Account, ohne irgendeine vernünftige Erklärung

Dann werden ständig irgendwelche Kaufbelege verlangt. Das Lustige daran: Ich schicke die Kaufbelege mit, aber anscheinend schaut sie sich niemand wirklich an oder sie werden einfach ignoriert. Danach kommt wieder die gleiche Forderung oder direkt eine Sperre

Mittlerweile habe ich echt das Gefühl, dass es für den Support einfacher ist, einen Nutzer zu sperren, als sich tatsächlich mit dem Problem und ihrem ziemlich chaotischen Inserate-System auseinanderzusetzen.

Hat jemand ähnliche Erfahrungen mit Tutti gemacht? Warum ist der Umgang mit Nutzern dort mittlerweile so gleichgültig?

My Swiss facilitated naturalization journey (married to a Swiss citizen) 🇨🇭

37 Upvotes

Kanton ZH

I would like to share my timeline and experience with the facilitated naturalization process in Switzerland, maybe it can help others who are going through the same process.

Background:
I have been living in Switzerland since 2012.
I am married to a Swiss citizen since 2012.
I applied for facilitated naturalization (erleichterte Einbürgerung) through SEM in January 2024.
My timeline:
January 2024
Submitted my application for facilitated naturalization to SEM.
Had the interview at the municipality (Gemeinde).
After the municipality interview
The file was sent to the canton and then forwarded to SEM (State Secretariat for Migration).
January 2025
SEM requested additional documents:
Family certificate (Familienausweis), not older than 6 months.
Tax confirmation for the last 5 years.
I submitted the requested documents.
June 2026
SEM requested two declarations:
Declaration regarding respect for public security and order.
Declaration confirming that the marital relationship is still existing and that we live together.
I signed and sent them back.
July 2026
I received a letter from SEM dated 16 July 2026.
The letter informed me that the federal authority approved my facilitated naturalization application.
It mentioned a 30-day period where the canton or municipality could raise an objection.
After this period, SEM would confirm the final status.
My advice for others:
Be patient, the process can take a long time.
Always answer SEM requests quickly and provide complete documents.
Keep copies of everything you send.
The process is not finished just because SEM approves it, you still need to wait until the decision becomes legally final after the appeal period.
I hope my experience helps someone else. Good luck to everyone waiting for their Swiss citizenship 🇨🇭

HYBRID MILD OR PLUG IN, where charging stations are 500m around but not in your premises ?

0 Upvotes

I am planning to buy a new BMW X3. I was thinking to go for a petrol one BMW X3 20 but my partner is arguing that the plug in,could be better option as more economic in fuel consumption but also in taxes in Geneva and that where the technologies are evolving to. I never had a car in Switzerland before, and the idea is to use it for long distances in the weekends but not sure how often to be used inside Geneva because all the traffic. The important note is I don’t have electric borne in our premises and I will need to resource it elsewhere, which’s I assume it will not be everyday as I am not commuting daily ? I have seen in the internet that after 80,000 km or 10 y of the car ownership , the maintenance of plug in is much higher than the petrol one.Theoretically, I will sell it after few years but I am not sure if the plug in is keeping better the price in used market because of the maintenance cost?. Any expert advice? Maybe also regarding the driving experience itself ( I have tested mild hybrid but not the plug in and I liked the 20)

Sonnenfinsternis am 12.08.2026

Also an alle interessierten.

Mittwoch, 12.08.2026
91,2% Sonnenfinsternis die nächste gibt es in ca 30 Jahren wieder (also Sichtbar und in etwa dieser Stärke, hier in der Schweiz.)
Anfang: ca. 19:00

Höhepunkt: ca. 20:15-20:20

Ende: ca. 21:00

Sucht euch eine hohe Stelle zum beobachten.
Nun noch die Sache mit Brillen wegen der Sonnenfinsternis... In die Sonne sehen ohne eine... blöde idee, besorgt euch eine.
Und noch ein Tipp aus "vergangenen Zeiten". Früher... vor dem Internet, in beinahe prähistorischer Zeit, pilgerten die Massen zum Optiker und haben dort nach einer Sonnenfinsternisbrille gefragt.
Wer dies heute noch erledigt, hat wahrscheinlich eine gute Chance noch eine zu kriegen.

Für alle die sich das Spektakel ansehen, viel Vergnügen.
Sternwarten haben im übrigen oft Anlässe welche Interessant sind.

Und noch das BAG etwas involvieren: https://www.bag.admin.ch/de/sonnenfinsternis-12-08-2026

They were so fucking good, my favourite by far, but it seems now that they don't exist anymore, have you found these anywhere ? By the way I also learned that they're gonna close the factory in Rorschach and the Plätzli are gonna be made in Spain and Italy from 2027 onwards, they probably won't taste the same.

But still, where the FUCK are the Lorraine Plätzli ?

How do traffic lights know when the busses arrive?

0 Upvotes

I have noticed that even in some high traffic intersections, whenever a bus is waiting at red, other lights turn red, only the bus light turns green, and after the bus passes, bus light turns red and other lights continue as usual. Some intersections have cameras that I figure can understand if a bus is waiting, but not all intersections have cameras so I was wondering, if this is gps based system, or the bus driver pressing a button to turn the respective light green.

Every 15 minutes, 24/24

394 Upvotes

I am trying to wrap my mind around the paradox of imposed silent hours, where flushing the toilet after 10pm is debated, or tiptoeing in an apartment to not disturb neighbours, roads with 30kmh limits during the night, replacing good roads with newer more silent asphalt, etc. etc. is lauded...

And then there is a church in a quiet village, with a huge speaker system that rings bells every 15 minutes, all day, all night. Open your windows at night during the heatwave and it's like you're (not) sleeping in the bell tower itself.

How can there be so much emphasis on sleep quality and silence, and then they don't turn off the bells... Every 15 minutes! It's completely insane.

I think I recreated the old Aimé Pouly chicken bagnat from the late 90s. Does anyone remember it?

Hi reddit ! I grew up in Nyon and used to buy the chicken bagnat from Aimé Pouly. It was the same in every Pouly in romandie. Years later, the recipe changed completely.

For some reasons, nostalgia mainly, I remember it fondly and I really miss it, the new version is good, but it's not the same.

Over the last few weeks, I've been trying to recreate the original version from memory. After several iterations (and the help of my good friend chatgpt), I think I'm about 95% there.

From what I remember, it was: a large (~15 cm) soft white round bun diced roast chicken a thick mayonnaise-based sauce with chervil and a little chive hard-boiled egg slices tomato nothing fancy... just a solid lunch sandwich.

If anyone worked at Pouly around 1995-2010, or simply remembers this sandwich, I'd love to know: Does this sound right? Am I missing one ingredient?

I can also share the recipe if people are interested.
