… The same people have also questioned what consequences it will have for me, both personally and professionally. Obviously that is a risk, but what I raised for discussion was too important not to be said. The comments would also have been sufficient to identify me within DPIW even without my name, and so the point of anonymity would have been lost. If the Department and the powers-that-be want to spend more time shooting the messenger than tackling the issues that have been raised, and if they have a greater concern that these matters have become public than that they actually happened in the first place, then it further demonstrates the problem.

The Department’s sole response to my retirement was a letter, which set out formal arrangements, devoted one sentence to my years of effort and offered the standard termination interview. Not the celebration of a life of work in the Service from a thoughtful employer. Just another turning of the corporate back on an expended resource. Too many other former DIPW employees report the same indifference.
