Number 1 Reason to Avoid Using the Cisco Learning Network | Cisco Study Blog
Brandon makes a good point about Cisco intervention in the Cisco Learning Network. In general, Cisco employees have a tendency to overstep the mark and can be rather taken with their imagined importance. They also get very defensive about looking after the ‘company image’ or their public profile.

Most likely this is just one person who needs a slap on the wrist by their manager but it is a symptom of a greater sickness going on inside Cisco. With the economic downturn, the pressure to do things better will increase from managers who overcommitted to budget targets six months ago.

They are going nuts over there. Here is another example. http://poprl.com/3r6 Someone was smacked down by saying they “Failed By One”. Cisco says that the pass score is unpublished.

Yeah, the moderators (Nini especially) seem to chime in at the stupidest times. It’s almost a given that if any training materials outside of the Cisco approved ones are mentioned, a moderator will chime in with their cut-and-paste post.
