Tell me that you never worked in another Schengen country without telling me you worked in another Schengen country.
Schengen means:
- employees don't need a visa (they also don't need to deal with the insecurity of not getting that visa extended, or being tied to one company that can exploit them)
- employees can use their home countries health insurance (although when they live there for longer it makes sense to get a local one instead)
- retirement funds
- not to start with all the things that are easier for employers
If I move somewhere it is not just my work that moves there, it is my whole life. I might find love in your country, I might have family and for that reason I need security that I cannot be thrown out on a whim just because some clerk decided they don't wanna extend my visa anymore until I jump through 50 more hoops. If I am in a seeked after profession why would I even bother to go there if the rest of the EU is much simpler to go to and friendlier towards me? Because Britain is a great empire? Probably not.
The only thing UK got going for it is the language, and quite frankly it is not that big of an advantage as one would think it is. I guess someone who only speaks english will not have a hard time living in Berlin or Vienna for example.
