An increasing number of employees in Switzerland are seeking to change jobs. Like other countries, Switzerland faces an unprecedented labour shortage, and employees – especially the youngest – are taking advantage of their strong position.

    Ehhh, doesn’t seem like a huge development here…

    More importantly, imo:

    > 2021 sanken die Nominallöhne gegenüber dem Vorjahr um durchschnittlich 0,2%. Real, d. h. unter Berücksichtigung der Teuerung von 0,6% im Jahr 2021, nahm die Kaufkraft der Löhne um 0,8% ab, nachdem sie in den letzten Jahren gestiegen war (2019: +0,5%; 2020: +1,5%)

    -0.8% drop in real wages in 2021. Probably another much more significant drop to follow for 2022/2023.

  2. If someone is willing to pay more for my time and appreciate my input more, ill be saying goodbye to my current one. (I don’t mean for a couple thousand difference per year)

    They won’t be loyal to you, even less when they reduce the workforce to increase their own bonuses/shareholder dividends.

  3. My father got sth like ~2000 one time payout for staying 20 years at the company. Why exactly should I stay? I will only stay, if pay raises are above inflation, which they never are these days.

  4. 4k for 11 hour of work… the conditions now are shit compared with 20 years ago, (for the foreign people)

  5. Can say I fall under the category of people who switch jobs rather fast. Change almost once a year, but never in bad terms and I always have 2-3 options for something new due to my portfolio.
