Ok so there's a bit of internal politics going on at work, which I'm keeping well and truly out of. However I'm being used as a pawn which is fun lol
Quick bit of background here, in that trying to get any training from my boss is pretty much impossible, despite various bargaining offers etc. And yes I know he has the budget for it, but he spends it on getting consultants in rather than training his existing staff. But that's a whole different rant.
Now the information governance team here have requested a technical bod from the IT operations team to assist. My boss has volunteered himself as he doesn’t think anyone else here is suitable.
Now long story short someone in that team knows I've taken my CISSP exam (Still awaiting the result) and has pushed him and his boss on this without naming names.
So he sends an email out asking for everyone's security certifications etc (that was a fun round robin email as everyone else in the dept were looking at me).
So I replied yada yada... got a the same response as everyone else "thanks" and that was the end of it.
A week or so later I'm chatting with him and suggest he should go for it. I tell him about the exam format 6hours.. 250 questions... and mention its multiple choice.
His response at the multiple choice aspect was more or less to question the worth of the exam purely on that fact alone!!
I was left stunned and am still smarting at the remark, it's the first time I've had anyone be so dismissive of an accreditation particularly of one so highly regarded in the field.
Anyways just wanted to off load and rant a bit lol now that's done I can continue to ignore him and carry on with my studies.
Oh and I have my first job interview next week based on that CISSP alone I shall have the last laugh
