Swiss role and agency

[venaticorielrose]

Hi need a bit of advice
My brother accepted a role in Switzerland and all background screening work permit etc is complete he is joining in two wks time
He have resign from his current role but the company comeback and offered a very good package

if he say no to Swiss company they can charge him for wasting their time ?
as they have arrange interviews and work permit and accommodation
Everything's is ready for him to join

The role in Swiss is with a bank and is via an agency who will be the employer

Thanks

I think they will track him down, empty his pockets and bump him off.

HTH.

I do like a swiss roll.

Sounds like your brother needs a substitute for his swiss roll. I'd go with a nice battenburg. It'll appeal to the same demographic.

Swiss banks are very good at losing/hiding/burying stuff.
Got some art stolen by the Nazis? Swiss bank.
Want to hide something? Swiss bank.




To the OP, it's up to you your brother, but if you're he's a contractor and wants to contract in the future, playing games with clients is not a great idea, particularly after they have invested time and money in getting you him in place.


He needs to check his contract as to what it says, also if they paid for any of his travel/expenses for him to just completely waste their time, he might want to consider what to do there.




...or as many may tell you on here, it's the Swiss bank's tough luck.




I guess it depends on your his ethics.

He should not accept a counter offer. Most who do end up leaving anyway and to increase pay or give promotion just because someone is leaving is not a good basis of employment. The employer will resent the blackmail and the employee will often find continuing not up to expectations.

Indeed in these circumstances I tend to say if you think I was worth that you should have been paying me it.

I sit through the annual review process, get told how good I am and despite being the go to guy when no one else can do it then got told I should do XYZ to improve. Then I get the annual excuse for not giving me a raise.

If that happens its time to get out! Don't look back
