I’d like to take advantage of the $50 referral offer: refer someone, when they spend $50, Rakuten pays us both $50.

I’d like to refer my husband, son and daughter, sending them a referral link. Then I believe there is a 2% Rakuten cash back offer on Giftcards.com. The fine print says the 2% not good on giftcards.com e giftcards -but it should work on other giftcards listed on their site, some with 10% off codes, right?

Can I purchase a $50 Hulu.com gift card and redeem it on a new streaming subscription membership for Hulu, Disney + and HBO max? It looks like Disney giftcards can also be purchased to be used for streaming services too. I’d make all $50 purchases for my husband, son & daughter & they could keep the $50 they earn.

I plan use to use my Bilt Palladium card for 3x to make my purchase. Three $50 referrals = $150 or 15,000 Bilt points = 15,000 Hyatt points!!

Any flaws in my plan?

My husband has the highest personal SW card and the CP. I am his companion. I read that he can check one bag free and I, as his companion, can check TWO free bags. CAN ANYONE PLEASE CONFIRM THIS?

I’ve gone to HR about my narc boss several times in past 6 years. When the newest employees were hired, he told them if they have any issues/problems to “keep it on 25”; meaning don’t go to HR first! Classic Narc Boss trying to control his employees! I told them they have every right to go to HR to discuss problems ESPECIALLY with him!

Two months ago, I tried asking how I can reduce my stress and heavy workload the day before his only associate gave her 2 week notice. He told me (in an email) that I just needed to:

“realign my attitude to accept that the work is without change, but our approach can be changed. Accepting the truth about the nature of the work is a key and healthy first step. In this scenario, we will always have a very busy business.”

I went to discuss a reassignment with HR yesterday and when I mentioned the email and read it word for word, she asked me to send her the email! The “key and healthy first step” for my hypertension & job stress was to go to HR because my boss totally dismissed my feelings and did NOTHING to assist me with my heavy workload. The narc boss doesn’t react well when he’s told that he is the cause of the stress.

My advice is to ALWAYS get the Narc Boss to put responses like this IN WRITING! I just wish I could find the other demeaning email where he listed step by step how to make his revisions to a document like I was a first grader and then copied several of his peers:

1. First go to the first sentence of Paragraph 1 and add “bla bla bla,”. Then remove the capital T in the next word and make it a lowercase t.

2. Next go to the third paragraph, last sentence and remove the extra period.”

When that has been, the letter will be complete & you will have concluded the assignment”.

I have over 40 years of work experience in this field and don’t appreciate his demeaning attitude towards me and then then making sure his colleagues read the email! Does he honestly think his peers will applaud him for the way he treats his assistant?

My coworker told me I’m the longest assistant he’s kept. Another of my coworkers submitted their resignation last week. I hate leaving my sweet remaining 2 coworkers to pickup the heavy workload while the narc boss is never in the office to do what he needs to do to actually make our jobs easier- he’s always working remote, traveling to seminars and booking speaking engagements to get his face plastered on conference websites and brochures! In our weekly 4-6 hour staff meetings, he’s the only one using his video camera! I can’t even look at him and cringe when I hear his voice - PTSD!!

Then yesterday I called him out on several emails where he was trying to convince me that I did something that I clearly had no knowledge of! He claimed we received money from a client and had a signed engagement letter last week. He wanted the file number! I asked accounting if we had received $x and they said no and the ONLY knowledge I had of this case was the 20 or so emails that I was copied on YESTERDAY. I also confirmed this with my coworker who also had no knowledge. When I get to work, let’s see how much I stirred “the hornets nest”! I was not disrespectful; I only stated facts. The narc boss doesn’t like being told his recollection is incorrect!

CYA and get everything in writing! I didn’t even tell HR that 3 clients have fired us this year; mostly because he doesn’t have the time to devote to his cases. Gotta get off this sinking titanic! If I get reassigned, I really don’t want to see or hear him again, but he may very well try to tell HR I’m being insubordinate to sabotage my plan. I put nothing past him to try to save his dignity!

Funny thing yesterday after I left HR, my coworker was right there at HR’s door to discuss her issues with the same boss! My third worker said she was also gonna go to HR. That’s it; no one else in our department!

Crossing my fingers she can reassign me asap before he does more damage!
