ihaveaquestion Working for the Kanton

0 Upvotes

Anyone here working for the Kanton? How is the work-life-balance? How does your salary compare to the Privatwirtschaft? Would you still move to the Kanton if you knew then what you know now?

I’m working in Finance and usually happy with my job. Stress is OK. Salary/Bonus is OK. But no inflation adjustment or salary raise in 4 years. Recognition in words is there, but again, not in the shape of a raise or promotion. Promotion not likely in the next 3 years, which bothers me. Regarding liking the job, some parts of the job are fun/interesting, others less so. And every quarter there’s at least one occurance where I want to quit on the spot, but then calm down and decide to stay. The people in the team are amazing.

lookingfor Zurich guys, where are you?

4 Upvotes

I’m 26, live in Zurich and somehow realised that while I know quite a few people, I’ve never really had that small, close-knit group of guy friends that regularly hangs out and actually stays in touch.
I’m basically looking for a group of guys who have their own lives, jobs, relationships and responsibilities, but still make time for each other. The kind of friendships where you can plan something for the weekend, randomly text “beer tonight?” or “anyone up for doing something?” and actually make it happen.
Nothing complicated — grabbing a beer, going out, watching football, gaming, travelling somewhere for the weekend, trying a new restaurant, hitting the gym, going to an event or just hanging out and talking shit for a few hours.
I’d especially like to meet people who are open-minded, easy-going and actually interested in building new friendships rather than just meeting once and never speaking again.
If you’re roughly 23–32, live in Zurich or nearby and feel like your social circle could use a few new people too, feel free to reach out.
Maybe we can start with a beer, coffee or something casual and see who gets along. 🍻
A bit about me:
I’m 26, work in tech/retail and live around Zurich. I’m into technology, travelling, gaming, history, going out for drinks, trying new restaurants and occasionally doing spontaneous trips or activities. I can be pretty social, but I also enjoy just having a relaxed evening with good conversations.
Would be cool if this somehow turned into a proper group of guys who regularly do things together instead of everyone saying “we should definitely do something sometime” and then disappearing for six months. 😄

I'm trying to buy a concert ticket from a private seller on Tutti that lives in the Zürich area. Unfortunately, I don't have a Swiss phone number, which seems to be required to make an account.

Anyone any idea of what I could try?

Hallo liebi Mitzürcher!
Habe meine Lieblingshandschuhe heute im 7ner Tram verloren, ca. 19:33 beim Schwamendingerplatz, Richtung Bhf. Stettbach. Sie waren nicht teuer, aber es hängen mega viele Erinnerungen dran 🥲. Bin dankbar für jeden Tipp. Zur VBZ Fundgrube gehe ich morgen bereits.
Danke für die Mithilfe!

Hi! I’m 36F and have been living in Switzerland for many years, but most of my friends have moved away lately. I find it really hard to make friends here and build real connections. I’m looking for ladies who enjoy running, traveling, cinema, coffee/brunch/matcha, city walks and good chats about life. Above all, happy vibes!

Women only please 💙 Feel free to comment or DM me!

rant Enough with the electric moped delivery drivers

54 Upvotes

Anyone else completely done with the food delivery drivers in Zurich treating bike lanes and sidewalks like their personal racetrack?

Every single day I see these electric mopeds flying down the pedestrian and bike paths at full speed, no slowing down, no looking, just blasting past pedestrians and cyclists like we don't exist. Nearly got taken out twice last week alone. They're not even trying to use the road and there is no sound from these machines so it is extremely dangerous.

I get that they're under time pressure, but that doesn't give them the right to turn every path into a death trap. It's aggressive, reckless, and somehow always gets a free pass.

lookingfor Looking for someone I saw at Zähringerbar on Saturday

• Upvotes

Hi Zurich!

This might be a long shot, but I'm looking for someone I saw on Saturday evening at Zähringerbar. I didn't have the courage to ask if she'd like to stay in touch, and I've been thinking about it ever since.

I've never done anything like this before, so I'm not sure if this is the right place to post something like this. I hope it's okay, as I want to approach this as respectfully as possible.

I was at Zähringerbar on Saturday evening with my sister and a male friend. We were sitting at a table playing a card game.

Later that evening, a group of four came in, two women and two men. One of the women immediately caught my attention. She had incredibly long black hair, almost down to her lower back, and honestly one of the most beautiful smiles I've ever seen.

We exchanged glances a few times throughout the evening. At some point, they moved their table right next to ours.

When we were leaving, I noticed that her friend's jacket was on the floor, so I pointed it out. That's when she turned to me, gave me a huge smile, thanked me and wished me a lovely evening.

That was the moment I wish I'd asked if she'd like to stay in touch. But I got nervous and didn't.

A little description, in case she or someone from her group reads this:

She looked around 25–28 years old, had very long black hair, East Asian features (I hope that's an okay way to describe it), and a smile that's honestly hard to forget. The group was speaking English, but she also replied to me in German.

And to recognise me: I was the guy in a wheelchair, wearing a green fleece jacket, black trousers and with dark brown hair.

I'm not asking anyone to share her personal information. But if you happen to know her, maybe you could show her this post and let her decide if she'd like to get in touch.

And if you're reading this yourself: I'd really love to get to know you. Maybe we could grab a drink sometime?

Thanks for reading, and I hope you had a lovely evening!

ihaveaquestion Jobpause bis nächstes Jahr in Zürich

16 Upvotes

Hoi zäme,

stehe gerade vor einer neuen Situation: Durch Kündigung und Überstunden habe ich jetzt länger frei und werde erst nächstes Jahr wieder ins Berufsleben einsteigen.

Wohne in der Stadt Zürich und merke jetzt schon, wie krass es ist, wenn die externe Struktur von 0 auf 100 wegfällt. Ich tu mir extrem schwer, den Tag sinnvoll zu füllen und hab Angst, dass mir bald die Decke auf den Kopf fällt.

Bisher mach ich folgendes, um nicht einzurosten:
Joggen, Sauna, Haushalt, Freunde/Familie treffen wenn möglich und durch Second-Hand-Läden stöbern.

Aber das füllt halt auch nicht den ganzen Tag. Was für niederschwellige Sachen macht ihr in Zürich, wenn ihr mal in so einer Phase wart?

Such einfach nach Ideen für den Alltag, die kein Riesen-Projekt sind, aber ein bisschen Rhythmus reinbringen.

Bin für jeden Tipp dankbar!

discussion Brauche eure Hilfe für meine VA zum Thema Make-up!

Hallo zusammen!

Ich bin momentan im letzten Lehrjahr meiner Ausbildung zur Fachfrau Betreuung EFZ und schreibe meine VA zum Thema «Make-up Selbstausdruck oder gesellschaftlicher Druck?»

Dafür suche ich Frauen zwischen 15 und 25 Jahren, die in der Schweiz arbeiten oder eine Lehre machen.

Mit meiner Umfrage möchte ich herausfinden, welchen Einfluss das Arbeitsumfeld und gesellschaftliche Erwartungen auf die Verwendung von Make-up haben.

Dabei ist es völlig egal, ob ihr euch regelmässig, selten oder gar nicht schminkt.

Umfrage:

lookingfor Tipps für den Zukunftstag gesucht: Kreative / künstlerische Berufe in Züri für 13-Jährige?

• Upvotes

Hoi zäme!

Ich bin aktuell auf der Suche nach einer coolen Möglichkeit für den kommenden Zukunftstag für meine 13-jährige Tochter.

Sie begeistert sich extrem für alles, was mit Kunst, Kreativität und Gestaltung zu tun hat. Die klassischen Büro- oder Standard-Tage wären für sie eher langweilig – wir suchen idealerweise etwas, wo sie echte Einblicke in künstlerische oder gestalterische Berufe bekommt.

Egal ob Grafik-/Kommunikationsdesign, Illustration, Theater/Bühnenbild, Mode, Fotografie, Film oder Kunsthandwerk: Hat jemand von euch Tipps für Betriebe, Ateliers, Studios oder Kulturinstitutionen in Stadt oder Kanton Zürich, die am Zukunftstag Hand bieten und Jugendlichen spannende Einblicke gewähren? Oder arbeitet jemand selbst in der Branche und hätte Platz für eine interessierte 13-Jährige?

Bin für jeden Tipp, Erfahrungswert oder Kontakt sehr dankbar!

Merci vielmal!
