Watch out, Rachel from accounts has got her pen and paper out.

Your job can be here or it can be in another country, perhaps a lower cost one. How open to travel are you? How much tax will you pay the UK if you move? maybe its easier to just hire there instead

That only works for services…..but not services like hospitality, hairdressing, vetinerary, healthcare.

Oh and as you kept saying during Brexit campaign…..London is a major financial and won’t move to EU or elsewhere….so that rules out that sector.

And what about those people who are self employed….doesn’t affect them.

Or those contractors on IR35

Or those directors paid by dividends


So how many people are we actually talking about

 

[noseall]

Loads of businesses moved from U.K. to mainland Europe to stay inside Single Market……i

Like that duplicitous lying brexiteer scumbag ReeSmogg.

Loads of businesses moved from U.K. to mainland Europe to stay inside Single Market……it didn’t bother them that employment law is tougher in those EU countries they went to

It’s just easier to run a business there without all the Brexit red tape

Opened small branches you mean. There was no mass exit of U.K. jobs as a result of Brexit, it was probably balanced with all the nearshore that moved back to the UK.

However, talk to any student looking to graduate this year and ask them how many of their graduate roles have been cancelled due to the budget.

you really do spout the brexit Koolaid bolox

"opened small branches"
no, there has been a constant stream of businesses that have moved their entire operation to EU

also UK used to be a major centre for global businesses to have the head of their European operation in UK..............but that stopped because they no longer had access to the $17 trillion single market

it was probably balanced with all the nearshore that moved back to the UK.

the word "probably" doing an awful lot of heavy lifting there

However, talk to any student looking to graduate this year and ask them how many of their graduate roles have been cancelled due to the budget.

thats not jobs moving abroad

and in any case the forecast is for 1.5% growth this year, Tories managed 0.4% in 2023

This thread is about Rachel from accounts' policies and the damage it has done. You made it about Brexit.

The heavy lifting is your whole post. You imply there was a mass exit of business, there may well have been for those focused on the EU, while at the same time there were nearshore setups in the EU focused on the UK who moved here.

We remained one of the best places to hire, despite Brexit, those advantages are going and people are finding it hard to get work. Not hairdressers, social care etc. but people who's salaries attract significant taxes.

You mean our employment rights are catching up.

It's still easier to hire, fire and make redundancies here than comparable countries in Europe.

But you know that.

 

[motorbiking]

Catching up, implies we were behind. In fact the countries with the lowest unemployment also have flexible conditions.

 

[carmanmemoranda]

Of course we are, and were, behind

But you know that too

Zero rate contracts are nothing to be proud of, even if they make unemployment look low

I know quite a few professionals, engineers - structural, civil, nuclear, none of whom are seeking employment, very much in demand for major construction projects

 

[motorbiking]

It's those at the start of their career that are mostly affected.

We weren't behind. I disagree.

And nobody is talking about Zero hours contracts. The issue is the period of time before you acquire rights. It used to be 1 year, it was changed to 2. I am ok with 1. Its going to be 0.

I thought you said........

It may surprise you, but many people at the start of their professional career are not on minimum wage.

Not what you said though

 

[mitch66]

I agree with that. They should be an option if someone wants that way of working but when a job is offered it should have the all the bells and whistles, holiday/sick pay, pension etc etc.
