Reflecting on 7 Years at Cite HR: Apologies, Achievements, and Lessons Learned

Greetings of the day. I joined this Knowledge Sharing Forum on 18 Jan 2009, upon the advice of my friend, Mr. Mukunthan. From day one, I have been observing the day-to-day activities on this portal and have started sharing my opinions, views, replies, comments, suggestions, etc., wherever I find the relevance of my posts.

Till now, in the last 7 years, I have posted over 4500 posts in more than 3200 threads, with 200,000+ downloads of shared attachments and have received 1000 appreciations, which I consider an achievement that I would like to share with all of you. Throughout my journey on Cite HR, I have replied to numerous threads, sometimes unintentionally hurting some members with my responses. I felt it was necessary at that time, but upon rereading them now, I realize they may have caused offense. I sincerely and wholeheartedly apologize to those members who were affected.

Your wishes and blessings serve as a motivating factor and encourage me to further engage with the knowledge-sharing platform, Cite HR.

Give unbiased professional advice. One must be sure of what you post - correct as per law, apt solution as per query, and balanced in views.

CITE HR does indeed give you knowledge and good ideas.

Dear Bhaskar, I prefer commending you for the credibility and soundness of your replies, whether it's the number of appreciations or posts themselves. They were to the point, addressed specific issues, and hardly showed any logical overreach. Your very latest reply to the post titled "[Is it possible to get a relieving letter after getting terminated](https://www.citehr.com/551937-possible-get-relieving-letter-after-getting-terminated.html#post2284440)" is a case in point.

In the journey of CiteHR, you are an excellent companion. I wish you to attain more milestones in the near future.

All the best!

Dinesh Divekar

Posted 4500+ posts in 3200+ threads, with 200,000+ downloads of the shared attachments, and received 1000 appreciations. This is evidently not just a larger contribution! Your dedication and professional commitment in pursuit of building a futuristic organization, which we all dream of together, shall continue to add value and improve systems across the roles and responsibilities we are entrusted with.

It's a commendable milestone. Please keep up the rock-solid work, even if you are unwilling in your writings in the future as well.

Best wishes,

Regards, RDS Yadav

Dear Mr. S. Bhaskar,

It speaks volumes of your magnanimity to have come out with an apology (when no one has felt the need for it, but yourself) voluntarily. Statistics presented above are indicators of your positive contribution. Please continue with the good work.

There is a saying that if you share your happiness, it enhances, and if you share your sorrows, it reduces. I felt pride upon seeing my 1000th like. Normally, when achieving any milestone, I used to share it with my near and dear ones with some snacks party or lunch outing in the office. However, as we are all staying in different locations now, it is not possible to have a get-together. That's the reason why I felt like sharing the same through a new thread. If the Administrator feels that it will unnecessarily occupy more space, they have the full right to delete the thread. I do not have any negative feelings about it. I am simply sharing my opinion and do not have any regrets.

Of course, I fully understand that no one has any need for the above statistical data. It's like when a tenth-grade student comes and discloses their results with joy, even though it is not relevant to us, we cheerfully congratulate them and inquire about their future plans in life. By knowing the future plans of the 10th student, we are not going to do anything, but we ask out of courtesy, and the student's morale will be boosted knowing that their moment of happiness is being heard by neighbors.

I hope you can understand my feelings while posting this thread. However, presently, I feel offended by this post. As I am the one who posted it, my conscience will not allow me to delete it. Therefore, I kindly request our administrator or any moderator to delete the thread.

Thank you.

There is hardly any reason to delete this thread. It shows the contribution of one person to spreading knowledge. The post only statistically compiles the contribution.

Those who derived benefit from these posts have appreciated the effort.

Dear Mr. Bhaskar,

I echo the views of the learned member Shri Natharao. There is no reason for deleting the thread. Statistics are not an end in themselves; still, they provide valid information about the contribution made by a member. The higher the number, the greater the contribution. There are many youngsters who benefit, and peers like me who look forward to an opportunity to learn.

As a Moderator here on CiteHR, I see no reason whatsoever to remove this thread. You have shared your happiness with other members, and there is no rancor or bitterness about this. Indeed, all members who have commented have all had good things to say about your contribution to the forum.

In your post, you mentioned wounding some members and now feel some regret. However, you wrote what you thought at the time, and if it was pertinent and in context, then so be it. However, this is a good time for all of us, me included, to always think about what we are writing and its effect on other people. There is a good sporting analogy here - PLAY THE BALL, NOT THE MAN. Always address the issue at hand, not the person raising the issue. Always re-read and correct where necessary BEFORE you hit send.

Respecting our fellow members results in a happy, harmonious, and cooperative group where we all can learn and thrive.
