Ptsd/therapy, And Re-employment After Termination.

[Michael B.]

First and foremost, your former employer sounds like a tool who doesn't care about the health of the people that help his business grow. "It is not allowed behavior." There is lots of stigma with PTSD and other forms of mental illness, so I'm sorry that you experienced this. I also can't blame your employer alone, because he's not the only one to think like this, unfortunately. I too, had this experience, except, I never told them I had PTSD -- I left, because I knew that if I was honest with him, he would have done the same thing.

Sorry for the delay Happyjock. My former employer was a government agency. They are running off people deemed unfit by committee. I was talking to the former 'Chief Plant Operator' (retired) who told me what happened to me isn't new. The difference is I'm pushing back, a glutton for punishment maybe. I've no problem going to government agencies higher up the food chain. In for a penny, in for a pound.

I'm so sorry this happened to you. Thank you for posting, I'm in a similar situation and don't feel as alone today.

I also worked for government and feel I was targeted, gossiped about at work, bullied and disrespected, and pushed out of my job because of my PTSD.

If our former employers spent a fraction of the time talking to us as they spent talking about us and collecting statements and evidence from coworkers, actually treated us like human beings, our outcomes may be different.

I'm glad you're not around those wretched people anymore, hope things have settled down and worked out for you. You deserve a better life pal.

My former employer, I believe is not done with me. I was denied unemployment for the second time (the reason was not made clear to me) and my Medicaid (I have a genetic disorder) for no reason was revoked. I took a survival job that is meant for a person 20 years younger than me that has no benefits. I despise the way I've been treated, but discrimination comes with the territory. My former employer says I was violent, even though I never demonstrated any aggressive behavior.

I wish you luck as there's no room for reality when working a government job!
