Took a gig in Oct with the understanding of 1-2 months in Basel and then rest in Zurich.

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%
