To ask how Brexit will affect your job?

[inmemoryofamj]

I work in financial services (investments) and I am wondering how Brexit will affect our company.. I don't know if I have anything to be worried about. I have a basic knowledge of what's going on but not how will it impact my day to day life.

How do you think Brexit will affect your job?

My job is to do with accountancy for a law firm. I have no worries about my job at all

I won't have one anymore I help distribute EU funds to the disadvantaged people of the UK...

I Work in the nhs. Won't affect our dept at all.

it already has.
my work has moved abroad and I had the choice of going with them or staying in the uk. frankly I couldn't afford to stay in the uk...

It has had an impact on book sales in Europe - we aren’t trendy/wanted any more

My husbands company is American and they’ve already moved to Netherlands - so much for special relationship

Teacher - there’s a critical shortage of teachers in the UK and the number applying from the EU has dropped post referendum making a bad situation worse.

Public sector so our funding will undoubtedly be hit in the event of a Brexit recession.

If no-deal, there are concerns about how schools will be able to afford food for kids on free school meals as food prices will rise.

Brexit will not affect my job; however, if Labour get into power, I am screwed!

My workplace has to make cuts because since Brexit most of the international students have stopped coming. Last year their EU number was drastically down as well.

Same as Noble. I'm worried about children possibly going hungry, and the inevitable funding cuts. There's a good chance our support staff will be further reduced, and we'll have even less to buy basic supplies.

My company supplies IT services to SMEs in the UK, largest customers are hospitality, events and the automotive sectors, all of whom will be affected by Brexit (movement of people, supply chain from EU, tourism, Ex rate). If there is a downturn in their fortunes, there will be a knock-on effect which will ultimately affect us as contracts will not be renewed.

The repercussions of any negative effect of it is massive for small companies. We see no business positives to Brexit. We are cushioning our business model but if there is a downturn, employees will be laid off.

Work in scientific sector and most work is cross European. It has already been affected and we may see more cuts. Our problem is that a lot of the research is partly funded by the EU. And other partners don't want to do any big projects with us if we can't be part of an EU bid. We have already been focusing on work we can do mainly ourselves, but we are going to run out of that.

I’ve just lost mine. My whole department has been relocated overseas to continue accessing EU funding.

I work at a payroll company who pay agency staff on zero hour contracts. I would say that 50% of the people we pay are from outside the UK and 50% of those are from outside of Europe.
So I would say quite considerably...
Funnily enough the owner of the company voted leave and it had something to do with immigration and letting ‘foreigners’ in.. never mind that these people make his company a shit load of money... the mind boggles...

I work in hospitality. I can't hire chefs for shit currently as 90% of our applicants are normally from the EU and none of them are applying anymore. We will probably have issues with the supply chain for food/drink/consumables, and potentially sales depending on the financial impact of it all.

Conservation land management. My region has had millions in funding from the EU over the past 20 years. My current project received 40k two years ago, and 15k this year. We are tightening our belts.

Litigator

We’ve got an uptick in work right now (due to impending recession- people get more argumentative).

NHS. So fucked, basically. In short, what @acquiescence says - critical staff shortages and lack of medications, so more people dying, and more staff burning out.

Police officer. It will affect the European laws and partnerships, but nobody is entirely sure how.

My company has declined opening a support centre in the UK and is considering European office expansion outside of London now. So in effect, we will lose out as jobs won't be offered here .

It’s killed off a huge part of my business already. It’s due to American companies running scared from doing b2b with smaller uk companies, Traded with them successfully for over 15 years and now they have been advised not to trade with turnovers under £1m due to economic uncertainty in the uk. I’m not the only one, huge numbers of small businesses are now struggling or are going under.

Fuck you Brexit, you are damaging the uk beyond belief.

My partner has already lost one job due to all the uncertainty. He has got a new job but the same uncertainty exists, and it feels inevitable that he'll be hit again at some point.

I work with charities who are reliant on EU funding. The charities largely pick up the slack where social care cuts mean council help is not available - young carers, people with disabilities. They're safe until April. No one knows what happens then.

Our costs will go up hugely as food prices go up. At the same time, we'll struggle even more with recruiting skilled staff. Profitability will go down, most likely leading to restructuring/redundancies.

Many of our clients are international and are likely to reduce headcount in the UK, which again will mean reduced profitability for us.

Can't say I'm looking forward to it...

On a positive note, we'll take more risks and push ourselves to do innovative and interesting things to attract and retain the best talent and clients.

Our directors announced earlier this week that there are going to be redundancies between November and the end of the financial year. Brexit “one of many factors” contributing, apparently. I’ll know whether I’m personally at risk when we enter the consultation period proper.

In my sector it is easy to attract good people. This is a bad sign though. At one time it was really hard.

Our business recruits engineers into European countries. A lot of those engineers are British going to work In Europe. An end to freedom of movement will definitely affect this.

I'm a teacher so funding cuts have already affected my school in a big way. Brexit will not improve this.
