Nokia also had a good example a couple of years ago.
In 2008 they close a factory plant in Bochum (Germany) to move it to Romania, with tax reductions from the Romanian government.
In that year they received the "Company of the Year" award from the Romanian government, many Romanians were of course happy to be given the opportunity for a job, while a anti-Nokia sentiment grew in Germany with the amount of jobs being lost.
A few years later (2011) Nokia moved the same factory to Vietnam.
