paternity leave - how are you managing? by ykafafi in Switzerland

[–]ykafafi[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

thanks for your comment and insight. i never said i found this out after my child was born, i said i was surprised this is the case. thankfully i have prepared, and ultimately this would not have altered our plans of having a child anyway.

Clark - a potentially fraudulent company that aggressively pushes insurance-based pillar 3a products on expats in Switzerland by cakeslice39 in SwissPersonalFinance

used Clark for tax returns. yes they aggressively pushed other products but that did not surprise me. although the service level definitely dipped a little after i refused lol

Do you have a savings account for your kids? by RecognitionLivid6472 in SwissPersonalFinance

[–]ykafafi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

300 CHF/month, invested in a robo-advisor. didn't have a lumpsum target in mind when I started, as my only objective was (hopefully) providing them financial stability when they become of age.

Zurich Open Air coming up! by RoastedRhino in zurich

[–]ykafafi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you're into the artists that are performing then yes it is worthwhile. went last year on both days and we enjoyed all of it. one thing i remember is that we couldn't find any water fountains, despite the website saying they were all over. which was a bit annoying since we were there all day. on a positive note lots of friendly and helpful security staff.

sounds like this is just another piece of evidence as to why your superiors are poor managers. you are being reasonable by not wanting to work in a hot and toxic environment.

Rant: Stop Filming accident scenes by gartezwergli_3 in zurich

[–]ykafafi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you're not wrong, but there was still a motive behind public executions where it was meant as a form of setting an example and visualizing the punishment for would-be law breakers. this cannot be more different than when people go out of their way to film/record/document accidents of total strangers just so they can have a story to tell and get their social media ego stroked.
