Hi CD,
congrats!
Studying for CCIE LAB itself is enough to give enough stress to the person.
In addition, you have undergone mental torture from your employer too.
What a great achievement! Hats Off.
Getting CCIE # is a life-time achievement and it is sad that you cannot
share it proudly.
I suggest you leave this Employer who does not know the value of a CCIE.
Can you elaborate your lab strategy for the benefit of the would be CCIEs?
Keep up the good spirit and enjoy the moment.
Regards,
Ananth
