Just wanted to share the news with someone that cares

My company is squarely medium sized (50 employees, $20M annual revenue) but in some cases is still run like a small business. Not having benefits beyond extended health coverage (basic coverage is done by the government, seeing as I'm Canadian) was one of these.
I've prompted my direct manager for something like a training budget and/or certs, gave him a list. He had to run it by the CFO and CTO.
Well, today I got the green light!
Starting with RHCSA, then CEH, then most likely RHCE (I do a lot of the things covered in it on a daily basis). After that, who knows, but it's still an extra about $2,000 in money I'd have had to spend after you factor in the weak Loonie.
