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?

I work in an English language school. Students from all over the world, but majority from EU. Things are very uncertain.

Currently not so bad as students taking advantage of cheap pound, but future visa situation is concerning.

Most students travel with school groups for 1-2 week course and travel on ID cards. When this stops there is no way schools are going to orchestrate 50+ kids forking out for passports that they don’t need to study English in Ireland, or any other EU country that offers it.

English language teaching is a big industry and brings a lot of money into the uk. We have not been reassured by the government at all.

University lecturer. It will be a disaster for the sector, there's no doubt about that. I'm hoping that DH and I don't get made redundant as I think we will see big cuts in universities as a result of lack of access to EU funding sources and drop in EU student numbers. If we do keep our jobs, there will be tough times ahead and I don't know how it will get better in my working lifetime. I feel very torn as in career terms looking abroad would be a no brainer, but we are settled here and I would feel bad about leaving my aging parents, one of whom has health problems.

I used to work for HMRC advising ministers. I left 9 years ago because I simply could not stomach the politics.

Have been very happy in my new career. Until very recently. Groupon and Wowcher have fucked me now. £17 Sports Massages when the industry standard rate is £40+

Massively qualified in many areas, but currently looking to work in Sainsbury's as a baker.

Local farmers are fucked. Friends in Finance, Car industry, Haulage are all at risk. It's all a bit mad and totally unnecessary. As well as police having to prepare for any madness. (lots of police in my family having to devote time to contingency planning that may never be needed)

Massive effects. We will probably lose 100s if not 1000s of jobs, I work for a German global household name which sells products in many areas, many of which are highly regulated.

If it’s No Deal, there will be no legal way for us to operate in the Uk.

I am a specialist nurse, I work with vulnerable kids. I am in a team of 5, 2 of whom will potentially leave following brexit, and we will be royally shafted. They are very skilled individuals who will not be easy to replace, and we will probably have to try to manage without them.

Things are even worse on wards. It is going to be awful.

I'm on mat leave until next March so will avoid the immediate aftermath. I'm an anaesthetist and would worry a lot about medication shortages as some of our key drugs are imported from Europe (though I'm hoping there's contingency planning going on). We've already lost a lot of nursing/theatre staff who've gone back to their home countries in Europe and I don't see that trend reversing. I think my jobis reasonably safe, but expect it will become harder to do it properly as hospitals become more strapped for cash and staff.

DH works in a university and I'm worried he'll lose his job if they lose funding. He has some overseas consulting as a sideline so could possibly increase that and/or become a SAHP and save us money on nursery fees.

I work in a university science dept which researches health. We have seen availability of EU grants for research plummet.

I'm a carer, there'll still be plenty of arses for me to wipe.

So, overwhelmingly negative. Why the fuck are we doing this? We really don't have to.

My current job is unlikely to be affected. However, a significant part of DH's job requires him to practice law within an EU member state, in order to have rights of audience in EU courts. We may well have to move to another EU state, unless there's a deal or he can work out some clever way around it. In reality, it'll need to be Dublin, as it's the only place I can realistically practice in my profession. So, potentially, quite a bit. It's the most abysmal shitstorm.

NHS front line. Imaging.

Losing good, well trained EU workers. Replaced by people who, though lovely, are not qualified in any way I'd recognise.

You wouldn't necessarily spot it; hell, you might think they're being thorough, as opposed to having 4 goes at something that should take one.

I run a recruitment agency placing British staff overseas.
We charge our fees relaying to salaries, all of which are in £.
So everytime to £ drops, our income does.

Also, the lack of freedom of movement will make British staff less appealing.

So... Not great

It's so scary how uncertain everything is. And to think people actually voted for this.. blows my mind.

I work for a company which owns 20 care homes across the south coast. We're still not sure just how many of the care staff will have to leave if we have a no deal Brexit, but even if we could know for sure, it wouldn't help, as there is going to be a shortage of care staff so all the homes will be fighting over them.

Im free lance and about a third of my work is in various EU countries. I'm really worried I'll lose out esp if it's no deal.

I work for a company the employs people seasonally out in Switzerland.100% Brexit is going to cripple us. We will not be able to get the permits for people to do the job out there!

I lost mine a few months ago. I was let go around a week before we were last meant to leave the EU. I worked for an EU country and got told 'due to the uncertainties of brexit, we're letting go all United Kingdom contractors'

Our UK subsidiary is likely be wound up. We are owned by an EU based parent company. We import components into mainland EU via the UK and ship finished goods into the UK, Europe and beyond. It won’t be economically viable if we become subject to tariffs.

I work in agriculture and it's going to affect us in a number of ways, some more than others but in no particular order:

Loss of seasonal staff who make up the majority of our planting, harvest and processing workforce for 6-9 months of the year
Our farmers currently get various subsidies through CAP payments which will have to be replaced somehow
My company also get various EU grants for research and development
Exporting products to the continent will have to change
Questions marks over changes to food legislation on food safety, labelling, chemical use

Already having an effect. I work in finance, 90% of our business is in Euros. Out of our two financial products our Paris office has pretty much taken it all over for one product, leading to redundancies. Other product not affected yet. Company got special dispensation to continue to trade Euros even after Brexit as we were considered a crucial financial infrastructure, once that expires in 3 years we're fucked.

Yet as a company based in the UK that does 90% of its business in Euros two of my colleagues voted Brexit because of Polish plumbers coming over here. Despite the fact it would lead directly to them losing their jobs. Baffling

I will lose my main bread and butter job in retail (non essential goods), and sales will plummet in my own self employed business.. in other words i'll be trying to survive on thin air.

I work in financial services. I will probably be out of a job (due to downsizing/moving business as a result of Brexit) in the next 6 months.

Public sector, won't be affected at all.

@WhatsMyPassword and @LochJessMonster

Am genuinely curious how to being 'public sector' allows you to be unaffected? What do you do? Assess disabled people for PIP?!

I'm public service, in the NHS and it will rip us apart.
