    Congrats to Mr Tripathi, on his deserving elevation as Member Staff. However,the instability of tenure in top management positions is a cause for concern in IR.For instance, if you perceive past profiles of MS in this organisation,it is mostly either the also-rans for other functional members slots or it has served as a springboard for aspiring CRB, or a mere parking slot for those who came in to retire!What consistent HR policy or initiative can they conceivably forge in avery limited time-frame of a few months?!. Truly a sad commentary on the state of affairs and significance attributed to the vital Hr role in the organisation.One may sound cynical, but reality bites!
