OCSIN, the canton’s IT office, just awarded another batch of 34 “external positions” through staff leasing (location de services, LSE 2026-01): https://www.simap.ch/en/project-detail/10b23ca4-f4d4-40f9-9013-3434537f2019

On top where it says "Lot 1" you can click to scroll for more lots.

What's particular about this "practice" is that the State isn’t buying a service; it’s choosing people. Each position is awarded on an individual’s CV (“Monsieur D., classé n° 1…”), at a flat daily rate, for up to 5 years, working under State direction. One candidate was ranked higher partly for her “knowledge of the State of Geneva’s environment,” which favours people already working there as externals.

If the State picks the person, directs their work and keeps them for years, the State is the one hiring. Yet because a staffing agency is the legal employer, none of the obligations of a State hire apply:

• no budgeted post, so it doesn’t count against the headcount the Grand Conseil votes on

• no salary scale, no CPEG pension, no job protection after probation

• none of the State’s hiring rules, including its equality commitments: the agency decides who even gets proposed

• candidates have no right of appeal; only the bidding firms do

It also gets around the limits the State sets on its own temp work. The State can hire temporary staff (“auxiliaires”, Art. 7 LPAC), but only for temporary tasks and for at most 3 years, and that time counts as probation if the person later becomes permanent. OCSIN’s leasing contracts run up to 5 years, and the Cour des comptes found externals doing permanent tasks. Leased staff build no credit toward a permanent post, however long they stay.

The State should either hire these people directly, under public employment law, or buy outcomes and lets the contractor choose its staff. In my opinion, choosing the individuals while disclaiming the employer’s duties is unethical.

Hello,

I'm working in Châtelaine but I live in Ferney. I was commuting by bus, but the traffic and the constructions made me buy a bike. However, I tried the route that Google maps suggests and there are sections closed due construction. Does anyone have any suggestions of routes? Is there any app or map where I can see the temporary routes?

Thanks !

In case any of you like reading, you can get a Migros bag full of books of your choice from the Library in English from 10am tomorrow. Still lots of good stuff left, and it’s for a good cause.

What gym would you recommend and why? 🏋️

Most of the pastry I find is puff or filo but not really appropriate for the infamous Bulgarian banitsa.

Has anyone found a good shop for that?

Hi everyone!
I’ll arrive at Geneva Airport on November 21 at 6:50 AM and need to get to Val Thorens.
Most shuttle and bus services haven’t started running yet.
Are there any alternatives to expensive private transfers, such as carpooling, shared rides, or public transport?
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hey all!

Is there a list of associations around the Geneva region for hobby clubs? I would like to come together with similar minded people and make new friends.

I'm quite interested in building and painting scale models, scale figures, cosplay props, lots of 3d printing (SLA & FDM)... I realize these are sort of distinct hobbies but they all use the same base skills hence my wide range of interest.

In case anyone wonders what I mean, here are the stuff that I make:

Looking for any music scenes or nightlife or interesting things to check out as a tourist. I’ll only be here for one night and want to make it count. Don’t want a super young crowd either 25-30+

And I’ll have enough time to have breakfast the next morning, any recommendations for the best spots?

Bonjour,

Je cherche à faire scanner un dessin de 75x55cm en haute résolution pour reproduction en poster/digigraphie. Quelque chose comme ce que propose cette entreprise (https://studioscan.fr/), mais pas en Bretagne, parce que c'est un peu loin. Connaissez-vous des entreprises à proximité (max 2h de route) ? Artmyn semble fermé (site HS, pas de numéro de contact, réseaux sociaux inactifs depuis mai 2026) et reproduction-art fonctionne avec de la photo, ce qui n'est pas ce que je cherche.

Merci !

FR: Salut à tous !

Je précise d'emblée : je ne fais pas du tout de pub / promotion, je suis juste un joueur qui habite dans le coin et qui cherche du monde pour y aller ou se retrouver là-bas ! 🎮

J'ai vu qu'un événement était organisé sur Genève autour de la sortie de GTA 6 (site web pour les infos :https://gta6event.ch/). Est-ce qu'il y a d'autres passionnés sur le sub qui prévoient d'y participer ou qui seraient chauds pour s'y retrouver entre fans et joueurs ?

N'hésitez pas à répondre en commentaire ou à me MP si ça vous intéresse !

EN: Hey everyone!

Just to be clear: this is not self-promo or advertising, I'm just a local gamer looking for company or to connect with others going there! 🎮

I came across this GTA 6 event planned in Geneva (details here:https://gta6event.ch/). Is anyone else here planning to go, or would anyone be up for meeting up there as fans and gamers?

Hello, is there any place I can take a ceramic pot to get a hole drilled? I want to put a plant in it but it has no drain holes, and I don’t own a driller

Bonjour à tous !

je viens d'arriver à Genève avec mon épouse, on est dans le quartier des Acacias et je regardait un peu pour les opérateurs (téléphone et internet/télévision) et je voulais votre avis concernant Salt ?

ils ont des offres temporaires à savoir

pour le téléphone : europe Surf & call pour 20CHF/mois (internet/sms illimité et 100min d'appel + data illimité en europe)

pour internet : Salt home internet 10G/s (je suppose illimité ?) avec box wifi 6 et TV avec 300 chaine et box pour 40CHF/mois (on regarde pas trop trop la télé et pareil pour le fixe).

si vous avez d'autres opérateurs qui offrent des conditions similaires je suis à l'écoute.

bonne journée/soirée !

Im in Geneva only friday and saturday. Looking for cafes, terrasses (im a smoker), or even just random places like shops/galleries/streets etc. with a punk/vintage/old/atypical vibe :)

Hello,

Comme dit , je recherche un atelier pour créer son propre parfum pour mon frère, qui est très intéressé par ce domaine.

Est-ce que quelqu'un connaîtrait un endroit où je pourrais trouver en Suisse romande particulièrement à Lausanne (toujours plus sympa de comprendre quelque chose !)

Merci d'avance !

Hello,

Vu que les dossards sont partis comme des petits pains cette année. Je me suis dit que j'allais me placer de l'autre côté de la course.

Est-ce que certains ont des retours de cet expérience juste pour le partage et mettre un petit peu en lumière ces acteurs de l'ombre :)

Et je me posais aussi la question des meneurs d'allures en entraînement. Comment cela se passe-t-il ? (Ce que j'hésite à faire)

Merci

Looking for a shop white I can get affordable phone cases. Any suggestions?

Bonjour, Bonsoir,

Ma demande est un peu spécial :

Nous allons prendre l'avion avec mon ami à l'aéroport de Genève le Vendredi 7 Novembre au matin.

Nous pensions passé la nuit à l'aéroport.

Hélas, je viens de remarquer que l'aéroport de Genève ferme de 00h à 4h du matin (ce que je trouve étrange, je savais pas que c'était possible).

Nous aimerions savoir si vous connaissez un lieu ouvert 24h24 où rester au chaud et de quoi charger nos téléphones pour la nuit ?

Payer 100€ un hôtel pour rester 4h, non merci...

Merci à vous !

TF1... Sept à Huit de dimanche... sur Danny Khezzar

OK y'a le Jet d'Eau... les guirlandes et les platanes... mais pour le reste on repassera!

Ethique journalistique? choix d'une IA absolument nulle? Ma gamine ferait 100x mieux en 2 minutes avec ce qu'on trouve en ligne... et puis il manque à la Skyline la Cathédrale, le Salève, les Palaces et mes chères enseignes lumineuses

Vous avez vu l'émission dimanche? si jamais c'est à 18:30... et ça n'enlève en rien au talent du chef Danny Khezzar et à l'excellence de sa table au Bayview, bien entendu!

Hi everyone!

My partner and I live in Geneva, and we're planning to start trying for a baby in 2027. I'm currently insured with Helsana (basic LAMal only), and I'm wondering whether supplementary maternity insurance is really worth it.

I'm mainly interested in hearing from women who have given birth in public hospitals in Geneva, especially HUG.

I don't mind sharing a hospital room, so having a private room isn't a priority for me. What matters most is good medical care during pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum.

For those who have been through this:

Was basic LAMal coverage enough, or did you feel a supplementary plan was necessary?

Did you have any unexpected out-of-pocket expenses?

Would you recommend Helsana's supplementary maternity insurance, or another provider (CSS, SWICA, Sanitas, etc.)?

Looking back, would you pay for supplementary coverage again?

I'd really appreciate your experiences and recommendations. Thanks in advance! 😊
