Doubt that my Aveo would get the same attention.

Of course as someone says, all employment is controlled, so unless he gets a release letter he may be heading off back to the UK.

If my company, heaven forbid, gets rid of staff and I be one of them. I would go back to the UK rather than scrounge around looking for rich pickings.

That's why even though I have been here only 3 months I am keeping my feet firmly on the ground and transferring as much cash as I can possibly afford to back to the UK.
