Hello friend - Amber Guette here, welcome to the Hooseland Public Service Renewal network
When I first entered our Public Service I searched for a guidebook or at least something that would let me know what it was I was getting into. I found nothing that met my need to try and make sense of a world that had me thinking I was Alice at a Mad Hatters tea party. I hope this book helps you find what you need to serve with integrity, hugs - Amber G.

Dear public servants (yes, you, on your lunch break),
You have been whispering your truths with trusted colleagues in corridors for years. Amber has decided to put hers in writing. Hooseland has a new government, and this time it is personal...
Amber knows this particular Minister better than most (they have history), which is why this time the letters go to an old email address from her university days, and arrive furious. There are diary entries now too, for everything too risky to send, and the mixtape carries the vibe.
If you have ever been asked to 'soften' an evidence based briefing or been through a restructure, your stories all in here, unredacted. What began as a stream of missives on the state of the nation has yet again turned into trouble for Amber. If you are the sort who stays late and cares too much. You are not as alone as you think...
