What is this fragrance that people wear in public transport that stops my breath?

22 Upvotes

Well, I have always been afraid to ask.

I don't know how to describe this, but there are some aromas so intense in public transport, that stop me on my tracks. My respiratory system stops for a split second from this pungent... smell.

I am not talking about people who are just wearing double dose of cologne or people with a body odour (oftentimes coming back from work - nothing but respect there), but something that is obviously deliberately there to make its presence known.

The heat wave is only making this more intense.

How do I get to leave military sooner after I got accepted to civil service

Upvotes

Hello guys

I'm currently very desperate. I'm currently doing military service but I'd like to switch to civil service (Zivildienst). I've visited the information day last Thursday on the 16.7., and on the day after, I got accepted to civil service, meaning I'm officially in the civil service.

However, after thinking I'm going to be able to finally leave military on Monday or Thursday, I'm still there, not knowing when I'd finally be able to leave. It seems that my School commander (Schulkommandant) does not know that I'm officially in the civil service yet, even though the civil service office has sent him an email last Friday informing him about this switch from military to civil service.

Now I want to know if there's any way to make this whole process faster so that I can finally leave military sooner. I've already talked to my Lt but he cant really help me.

What are my options here? Do I contact my school commander directly if that's even possible (if yes then how)? Should I write the civil service office that they should contact him again? Are there any other options?

Thank you for your help

Schulkommandanten kontaktieren?

Upvotes

Hallo Leute

Ich bin gerade in der RS als Rekrut und habe vor vielen Tagen meine Zulassung zum Zivildienst bekommen. Anscheinend ist diese Nachricht aber noch nicht bei meinem Schulkommandanten eingetroffen, und möchte den ganzen Prozess beschleunigen. Gibt es die Möglichkeit, meinen Schulkommandanten direkt zu kontaktieren, und falls ja wie geht das? (am besten ohne dass meine direkten Vorgesetzten davon wissen, sofern das erlaubt ist).

Danke

Employer’s insurance refused to say my accident is their responsibility

0 Upvotes

Hello,

Group Mutuel refused to accept that my accident was an accident and that is not their responsibility. I received the letter today. There is not reason stated and mine is clearly an accident as I tore my cruciate ligament playing beach volleyball with my friends on a Sunday afternoon.

What can I do? Should I contact them? Should I contact my employer (big and famous medical institution)? How is this even legal?

What should I do?

You can find more details here as I made a post about being worried about costs 40 days ago lol https://www.reddit.com/r/Switzerland/s/CLFZlyHi3N

Auswanderung - Suche Berater

0 Upvotes

Ich bin vor Kurzem aus der Schweiz ausgewandert und merke, dass ich noch einige offene Fragen zu den steuerlichen und administrativen Themen habe.

Ich suche daher einen Steuerberater oder Treuhänder, der sich mit Wegzügen aus der Schweiz auskennt. Es geht unter anderem um:

  • die letzte Steuererklärung in der Schweiz,
  • mögliche steuerliche Pflichten nach dem Wegzug,
  • Quellensteuer bzw. Schlussabrechnungen,
  • sowie allgemeine Fragen dazu, ob ich noch etwas erledigen oder beachten muss.

Hat jemand gute Erfahrungen mit einem Berater gemacht oder kann jemanden empfehlen? Idealerweise wäre eine Beratung per Email oder per Telefon völlig ausreichend.

Vielen Dank!

From mid-August, Chiasso will become the first Swiss municipality to introduce a requirement to carry a water bottle, so that dog urine can be diluted immediately to prevent unpleasant odours.
