Hey Geneva,

I recently moved back after spending around 8 years abroad, mostly in Vietnam, and I'm slowly rebuilding my life here.

I already have some really good friends in Geneva, but I realised I dont have that many people around me who share some of the things I'm into. I also spent so long speaking English everyday that I kinda miss having an international / english speaking circle around me.

I'm 34M, probably still a kid at heart, and into way too many things x) Cycling (road/gravel), gym/bodybuilding, photography, filming/editing little videos, coding and building random projects, tech, walking around the city with a camera, eating good food etc.

Would be cool to meet some new people who are into similar stuff. Could be for a ride, gym session, shooting something together, working on projects over coffee or honestly just grabbing a drink and talking shit.

French or English is totally fine.

Also dont really mind sharing my insta by DM if people want to know whats hiding behind this reddit account before meeting.

So yeah, if any of that sounds like your kind of thing, say hi :)

Salut à tous,

Je voulais partager une situation que je vis actuellement, parce que j'avoue avoir du mal à comprendre.

Je travaille dans une entreprise depuis 2022, depuis 2025, je rencontre des relations managériales difficiles avec un nouveau membre de la hiérarchie et certaines décisions politiques de l'entreprise, ma santé s'est fortement dégradée, jusqu'à un burn-out et une hospitalisation.

Mon ancienne équipe a fini par éclater, plusieurs situations graves de harcèlement ont été rapportées au sein de l'entreprise, et il est indéniable qu'il existe des problèmes plus profonds dans la gestion des relations humaines.

Malgré ça, j'ai essayé de faire les choses correctement : reprendre le travail, dialoguer, documenter les problèmes et alerter l'entreprise sur des comportements que je considérais comme potentiellement liés à du harcèlement psychologique. Mais les difficultés avec mon ancienne hiérarchie ont continué.

J'ai donc fini par faire un signalement détaillé RH + Management, avec des éléments écrits, en demandant simplement que la situation écoutée voir examinée et qu'on m'aide à re-établir un environnement de travail sain.

La réponse ? On m'oriente vers un médecin et on me dit que "c'est la procédure". Puis, quelques mois plus tard, sans avoir eu un réel dialogue : on m'annonce la fin de mon contrat pour « raisons économiques ».

Après avoir passé autant de temps à endurer des situations abusives, et d'essayer de trouver des solutions, on me laisse finalement sur le carreau avec un sentiment de ne même pas avoir été écouté, et qu'ils souhaitent protéger l'image de la hiérarchie sans faire de bruit.

Je travaille à Genève depuis 2022, et j'étais pourtant dans une entreprise mettant en avant le bien-être au travail. Cette expérience me laisse franchement un gout amer.

Alors, j'aimerais avoir votre avis : savez-vous si ce type d'expérience est considéré comme normal en Suisse romande ?

ill only be in geneva for those two days and if there is anything particular going on, especially in the nightlife, please let me know. thank you!

Hi. I'd like to get recommendations for a cobbler or show repair shop. I'd like non-slip soles put in. Thanks in advance!

Ou jouer au billard à Genève? 🎱
Puisqu’il faut être deux pour jouer, qui aime jouer et a un niveau correct?
Partant pour faire un groupe à plusieurs si on a de nombreux joueurs!

Idées bienvenues, surtout qu’il pleut c’est assez déprimant le dimanche ici…

i’m not sure how much of a longshot this is, but i’m wondering if there are any places in geneva that serve breakfast burritos? When i was back home in north america i always loved a good breakfast burrito, with some spicy chorizo, avocado, egg, and other good things.

though i would settle for any recommendations for a good breakfast sandwich.

Je suis fleuriste de formation, même si je travaille dans un autre secteur aujourd’hui. J’aimerais continuer à créer mes propres bouquets ici (pour moi, pas pour les vendre), à Genève, car je trouve que les bouquets proposés en magasin ne sont pas à mon goût. Où puis-je trouver des fleurs vendues à la tige à Genève ?

I recently had a baby and looking to join (or create) a new mums group that would preferably communicate in English and do a couple hang outs, stroller walks etc. Mostly around Champel area. Any idea if any exist or would anyone be interested if I created one?

They truly lost their minds at the pre boarding shops

Are there any good bars in Geneva with good music ? My classmates and I are trying to figure what people do for a night out here . If you know any nice options , please share!

I actually want to go to Karaoke - not to have a good drunken time with my friends - but to practice my singing in a place outside my home and maybe interact with some strangers with the same passion as me.

Is there a place in Geneva where this is possible?

Hello! In my quest to be a better 'villager' in this community and offer up some cool activities if anyone wants to meet in a small group.

For a dark, rainy weekend I am going to go watch the women's ice hockey tonight in Geneva at vernets Ice rink at 5.45pm...

If anyone wants to meet up to watch some ice hockey, figure out the rules, get a hot drink etc.

I'm going to stay in Geneva for the next 3 months. I am fluent in English but not so in French. I'm a student from India. The UN internship only offers accommodation and food, so I need money to sustain myself. Please also provide the apps or the ways through which I can explore the job market. Your help would mean the world to me.

I really like to make props and costumes, but it seems hard to find materials in Geneva. There really aren’t that much art stores, and art stores have little good material for costume making.
I know there is like an art store called astuce in Geneva, but it’s not much good, are there any actually craft stores with materials like foam and foam clay?
Or is the only way to buy this stuff, online?

Hello good people of Geneva!

I’m looking for a decent PC repair shop that can handle cleaning and some technical stuff (fan replacement etc.) and speaks English (my French sucks).

Does anyone have a place they’d actually trust? The build is high-end so I want to be careful about where it goes. Bonus if you remember roughly what you paid.

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone!
I will spend this weekend in Geneva and unfortunately it seems it will be raining!

I will be there with a girl I’m dating so do you have some suggestion to spend time indoor to spend the day while having fun or enjoy some experience?

Thank you very much!

Hi everyone, i’m looking to get a bike repaired and might also consider converting a regular bike to electric. Can anyone recommend a local shop with a good reputation and reasonable prices ?

If you’ve had a bike converted, i’d love to hear how it went and roughly what it cost. Thanks !

I was just wondering if anyone has anything to say about HLM apartments being built lately …. I have visited a few and i wonder what people think about their quality and the prices that they are offered… anyone ? Please note that I might erase this post because I am not sure how well this is going to go…

I need to do job applications and my brain just doesn't want to function at my home.

Are there spaces around Geneva that are calm, where I can work with my dog chilling at my feet?​
