• 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.

  • 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?

  • Just my 2p but, if you became a UK citizen so you could work here and in the EU then it seems like a sensible move to start looking at establishing yourself in a country that will stay in the EU.

    The timescales around our exit are likely to be a decade*, but you never know. So what have you got to lose by securing your position now. She can always come back.

    *my guess
