Looking for a good bbq sit down restaurant around Lombard. Everything I’m seeing is a take out type place. Is there something good to take clients for bbq and bourbon? I see bub city but that’s a bit far in rosemont. And I really don’t want to drag these guys into the city. Help appreciated.

It's freezing tonight bitter cold. I just ordered Chinese and I'm not sure if that was a shitty thing to do. I think they need to make money so if no one calls that wouldn't be good. I did tip well

Is it a red flag if a company told me they want to make me an offer but are taking a really long time to actually send me an official offer?

Been working for my company for over a year now. 14/15 months. Started me at 48k after college. No pay increase yet, I travel and do sales for an engineering company. Projects and products I sell can range from 5k-4million. But I don’t make commission, and neither do my co-workers. We’re a relatively small company. Where do I start the conversation with my boss on commission? And what are some of you other account managers/traveling sales people make?

Thanks!
