    UBS Switzerland

    Hi All,
    Took a gig in Oct with the understanding of 1-2 months in Basel and then rest in Zurich.
    Received zero training ( current staff tulip scared of losing jobs to Poland and India ) then started working in Zurich as only resource was there capable of giving me some time on their bespoke system.
    Back to Basel for Risk with the understanding of some days in Zurich now they say 4 days minimum in Basel.
    That translates to a 13hr day door to door .. Couple that with a 10% cut in rate and highly inflexible management and it looks like the position is untenable pending a last ditch at negototiation.
    They must be having a laugh !!???
    Anyone have similar experiences?

    Yes, I bank with UBS in Zurich and they cut the interest rate to 0%

      On the plus side, Basel is so much nicer than Zürich.
      Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!
