Can confirm - the local media will reprint the same articles every few months on how expats are moving away because the Swiss are too standoffish.
And that includes Germans. I don't want to lean too heavily on the cliches, but if you come across cold even compared to Germans, surely that's a sign.

- monaghanboy 7y agoCan and do the expats just socialize with each other to mitigate the problem?
- ThePadawan 7y agoYes, they can and do. This of course leads to a societal enclave where even expats that would like to integrate into Swiss society find it harder and harder to do so. On the other hand, the more right-wing press and parties use them to point out the perceived lack of willing to integrate into society to further restrict immigration. I wouldn't describe this as a mitigation, more of an escalation.
