Oh come off it! As someone who was driven out of the APS twice due to constant bullying and had a nervous breakdown to boot (not to mention ongoing PTSD as a lifetime legacy), I would have thought even *acknowledging* the APS in the Centenary celebrations would have been unthinkable. I’m sure that website will paint the rosiest picture about the APS and it will be dripping with faux nostalgia. Meanwhile I have documented the truth about the APS experience. These are the stories the APS Centenary of Canberra initiative *don’t* want you to hear:

PTSD is very loosely diagnosed these days. Happy to hear you made it out of the war oh sorry the APS but you have PTSD.

what a joke. Australia is becoming obsessed with PTSD diagnosis when no doubt many people suffered more traumatic experiences in life but thats not PTSD but if something happens in the workplace than bang bang its PTSD.

get over yourself pitty.

Ouch – but +1

I say this in the nicest possible way but …. if it happened twice, do you think that maybe you are the common denominator here?

The common denominator is an organisation with a rotten culture which encourages people to submit formal complaints against someone else on the flimsiest grounds, and to have those complaints not only taken seriously but always upheld. If you’d watched my videos objectively you would understand how difficult it is to work under such conditions when you are constantly under seige. A pack mentality is hardly conducive to encouraging productivity or positive morale in the workplace.
