    Apparently the line manager of one of the staff in the Dublin office (apparently the Google European 'HQ') had to fly from the London 'branch' to attend an Employment Tribuneral (which they lost at the cost of €100,000).

      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

            If they had selected a country other than France that could have been credible. Nobody switches jobs to France.

                  Sure France, one may scoff but....

                  Paris - fastest growing banking sector

                  The fact is when London "sucks" eg after a Brexit vote Paris is the only real alternative in Europe, because the other cities apart from London are just too small.

                    In light of the pathetic inability of the Paris authorities to stop any number of random loons embarking on their deluded killing sprees I would be hesitant to relocate my corner sweet shop there never mind anything bigger!

                      you know the employment rules over there are so restrictive they make ours look like we queue up for work in car parks?
