Hi Antonio,
First, congrats on the pass!!
My company is pretty small and I will be their first CCIE on their payroll
(of course, this is IF I pass). Anyway, I just rearranged my contract with
my company. They'll pay for my passed lab and not for any failures (like
your company). They'll also pay for the hotel and gas on the pass to RTP.
They are paying for my NetMaster Class but I'm paying for the gas to DC and
my hotel. And, they're paying my regular wages when I'm at Caslow's class -
before rearranging my contract last week my company was not going to pay for
my leave of absense.
Good luck and go get 'em - you've EARNED it!,
Sean
