The Sun is Setting on the British Empire

With just over three weeks until Britain is scheduled to leave the EU and no clear post-Brexit trade deal with the EU currently on the table, many companies have announced plans to move some or all of their business out of the country.

The hardest-hit sector seems to be automotive manufacturing, with Nissan, Jaguar Land Rover, Ford, and Honda all announcing plans to close existing plants or to move production abroad in the event of a "no deal" Brexit.

Other tech and tech-adjacent manufacturers, including Sony and Panasonic, as well as (allegedly) as many as 250 other companies are foreseeing huge risks in remaining in the UK after a hard exit from the European Union, and are thinking of moving some or all of their business abroad.

Is Brexit affecting you or your position at your company? Are you concerned about layoffs? Are you rethinking your residence in the UK or the EU in general?
