It also appears to omit that a lot of skilled workers from EU countries are doing the exact same but in reverse. I always liked the Guardian, but their stories on brexit have been terrible, to the point that you can't trust them at all.
- bennysonething 6y agoYep, nearly everyone on my team is from outside UK. Mostly EU, brexit hasn't affected them at all.
- moystard 6y agoThat's not my experience; a lot of friends and colleagues have left the UK to go back to the EU since the referendum vote. Also, in terms of recruitment, very few people are now interested in coming over to the UK for engineering positions. We used to have a lot of talented candidates from EU countries (especially Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, etc.); we have not had a single applicant from these countries since the vote.
