I agree to some extent to what you want to convey...but also there is a time availability factor for each individual..they have so many other jobs to be done, but there is no harm in being part of this group and enjoy the articles posted or keep posting whenever possible. Its just my opinion..Its always wonderful to know people and their views..

Hi Dilip,

We all go thru this phase in life when we meander from meaningful to meaningless. I agree with you when you say there are hardly any articles worth spending time on hrlink nowadays. I will tell you, I myself have been a little less attentive to it because I didnt find any article worth spending time on.

But that was my mistake. I told myself two days back, that I would add whatever little I can in my own way by finding articles where I can contribute or else I would post topics which would give rise to meaningful discussions. I can understand your anguish, cos I have been there before. But I guess we seniors need to take the cue.

I also suggest banning some members who only google and post copied articles. I have in fact blocked two such gentlemen because I was fed up of 20-30 pings from them daily. When somebody posts an article, there should be a follow up too. These kind of gentlemen are happy to increase their scores on hrlink. We are better off without them.

Other members, your views please.

Hi Dilip,

I remember posting a forum about being attached to HRLink. (not mentioning the word “addicted” since some members said it’s not good to use it)

But yes, we have lost the true essence of HRlink, if you compare with the earlier days…guess recession has taken it over, even here…

We used to have more forums, questions/answers, debates posted on HR related topics…& I, personally have learnt a lot from them…apart from getting to know so many great colleagues here & have made really good friends…

But since late, as Harish had mentioned we just get some copy/paste materials… or some jokes & puzzles shared, most of them old ones…which disappoint you while you spend time & navigate to that page...

They are needed, yes, but only just for a refreshment from the daily routine...
not as a main topic to be discussed & circulated on and on...

As Srilata has shared, we all have our own responsibilities at office…I personally, login every morning without fail & keep refreshing the page now and then, in the hope of getting some new & informative articles or debates, but, alas, nothing new…

Even I was forced to block some few members…just because, I really don’t have time for browsing through so many unwanted pings which consume half the time, everyday!!!

Hope, now that this topic has been brought out, all of us, HR professionals, would contribute more to help retain the cause of this site & all the great things it had gifted to many of us during these few months…
