  • A few weeks ago, a Malaysian working for me got her British citizenship - much excite, so jubilate etc. A few days later, the Brexit vote happened - she's been devastated about being part of what she sees as a country that doesn't want her and greatly concerned about the uncertainty it's caused. This morning she resigned and is moving to Germany. We're expecting to lose a lot more good people because of this.

  • I got my citizenship 6 months ago. My plan is to milk my current contract dry and then move to the continent. Few of my work mates are planning to do the same thing. One of them is sorting out his Maltese citizenship to have a EU passport. Fun times.

  • So now what, can you fill it with a local person or are the skills just not there? :/

  • That's just terrible, considering she'd just become British.

  • Obviously you know her and her reasons far better than I, but isn't that a bit of a over-reaction? I assume if she has gone to the bother of getting citizenship she wanted to live and work here, and has presumably been here a while. Given the stated uncertainty of what is going to happen, why not wait and see for a bit - it's hardly going to happen overnight and the citizenship she was so happy about getting is still just as valid?
