Main Concerns:
Communication and Cultural Differences: The instance illustrates how Swiss and
German personnel communicate differently, with English, French, Standard German,
and Swiss German being their preferred languages. A debate on the procedure for
getting in touch with General Board Members (GMBs) for video planning is one
aspect of this..
Integration and Welcome: German employees may feel unwelcome or out of place in
Switzerland, both inside and outside of work. This is exemplified by the narrator's
co-worker feeling stressed during a public event due to the reactions of Swiss people
towards the German team.
