Except even in Switzerland there are topics we cannot actually push through with an initiative. We had a vote in 2014 about a very specific way to restrict immigration into Switzerland, it was voted through, but Federal Government wasn't willing to nuke our economic relations with Europe so now if you are advertising for a job in Switzerland you first have to make sure Swiss people don't fulfil your criteria before you hire a foreign person(i.e that is the result of an initiative whose aim was to restrict asylum and Shengen agreement movement).

Even in this case if I remember correctly there was a version of it implemented in 2016, it is a strange edge case though which would endanger the EEC agreements already in place between the EU and CH. This specific case of the Credit Suisse doesn't appear (to my as a layman) to be in contention of anything external to CH.

Your government should have implemented what the people voted. The fact that they could get away with it is a clear sign that they can ignore what you vote on without any consequence.
