I had to work from 8-4 last Saturday...my car was THE ONLY one in that huge parking lot. Talk about creepy...it was all dark and quiet in there all day. I'm surprised they would trust me, a little part-timer, to be in the building by myself all day...they probably had cameras on me the whole time.

C'mon, maroon. You know no one is allowed to call anyone else Mr. (insert blank). First names only!

UCS has a clone in Ohio called OSI.

This thread has made me laugh... mostly because UCS sounds a lot like the place I work at.

My boss at OSI told me at the beginning of this month that if I didn't hit 100% goal, that I would be written up & fired. So far, I'm not doing so hot (not that I'm not trying). But I don't care, I hate that place anyway.

I look forward to my pink slip. I'm taking the summer off and job hunting in August. Funny thing is, I almost applied to the UCS in Houston for a translator position. Do any of y'all know if Houston is better than CS? (probably not).

And I'd like to hear the grenade story, please. My curiosity has peaked.

AmandAggie02, we now know who you are.

After a little search of the timesheets for that Saturday.

Prepare to be fired on your next workday.

Just remember, big brother is always watching you.

Hey UCS employees, remember that this Friday is casual day. That means we can dress like other companies business dress. Yea!!! There's nothing like impressing your fellow co-workers with your church clothes as casual dress. More like leave your tie at home day.

Oh yeah, here's another thing. It's review time. For you new employees that means you are going to have to beg for a raise. Keep track of everything and maybe Bobby and Robby will throw you some scraps as they drive off in their Mercedes SL's.

There's another form you will be asked to fill out. It's called a 180 review. This is where you have to unfairily rank your fellow co-workers. This is the most useless piece of crap I have ever see. They call it anonymous, but they know who you are. Trust me. Don't think ranking yourself first on each subject will help because no matter how you're ranked, they (management) have their own opinion of you. See useless waste of paper and time. This year I'm either going to make my own form where everyone is ranked first or I'm gonna wipe my backside with it and then send it to my V.P. Airheads style!!!

P.S. Amand, that guy is right. Be careful what you say. I found you in 122 and it only took about 5 seconds to figure you out.

ah the ucs thread lives

Unknownaggie- I know it probably wouldn't be hard to figure out who I am, but I ain't sceered. I haven't said anything BAD, just true stories. I honestly like all the people who I work with...I've definitely had worse jobs. I just couldn't see myself working there for the rest of my life.

tell the gernade story

lol unknownag97, that post is pretty funny, especially after 10 or so beers. Im so glad I never ventured over to UCS during the college years looking for a job hehehe.

AmandAggie02,

I'd go back and edit that post, though. If you ever say anything in the future it could lead to you being discovered. You need to be more paranoid. And no, I don't work for them. But I fear them nonetheless.

Indeed. Sometimes, paranoia can be your friend.

where is the gernade story?

Gawd this thread will never die....Do they seek out Aggies for the sole purpose of hiring them just to torture them?!

it might go away if somebody tells the gernade story one day

I thought they already told it about 4 pages ago.

maybe they did. i just got used to saying it.

....how many "executives" shacked up with "hourly employees" at the College Station Hilton.....

oh, the dirt I have on those imbeciles......

Give us a number. What type of hourly employees would **** the boss?

I just spent 1/2 an hour reading every post hoping to find out about this grenade story. Please, for the love of God, will someone please tell it?!!!

Actually, most of them declined the "offer"....but, it was great fun watching some drunken fatass "highrollers" in their mid 40's banking a cool $30,000 (rich pay for UCS)...and hitting on their subordinates....(college student part-timers)...without too much luck.

tell us

tell us

I work in Service Pricing Guide (SPG) at Hollister and its one of the more difficult positions. However, our managers are cool (mine played minor league baseball) and our department is pretty unique and we go out almost every weekend. It sounds like most of you that are complaining either:
A.) Your boss was a jackhole
B.) Your job really sucked.

Trust me, compared to what I was doing (adjuster for Progressive), I'm happy with UCS. If you can get over the big brother stuff, it's not a bad place. I can deal with getting snuffed on some stuff as long as there are the sports leagues, the parties, and the free health insurance. Working as an adjuster and having NONE of those things sucked. At least with this job I know I'm actually doing something. And for those of you who complain about never hearing "good job," thats true, but your basically admiting you're a slave by needing someone always there to pat your back. I'm just starting to find out that all the career days in elementary and all that crap about what you wanted to be when you grow up is stupid, because I'm guessing about 90% of people's jobs suck, but they need to pay bills.

Of course, I'll check back with your guys after I've been there longer

Plus I'm getting to travel alot in SPG (not as much as SIN though). Also have a buddy that just got a job as the "bus driver" (not sure if everyone will get that).

Hey "The Padz"
Your wife called, she said your genitals are safe in a jar under the sink. Your dept. doesn't do ****! Stop thinking you're something special.

On a different subject, I'm sick of all the "officers" walking around like they are something special. It's like they think they are U.S. Senators or something. Everyone's like "Hey, straighten up, so-in-so is coming." Who cares?! You are just people, get over it!!!

Oh yeah, and if they would stop hiring their own kids every summer, maybe the rest of us can get a bigger raise.

--Snooch

Yeah you mean their own kids who don't have to adhere to the nazi dress code? I hate that. One girl in our department is always bs'ing when a certain veep walks by and she gets pissed. i dont give a damn. i bet that certain veep went to south america fishing on company buck too. oh well.

and damn it, my department does too do &%*#!

you're ruining my thunder (j/k)

I was thinking about why this company is so obsessed with access and tcc reports. It's all the chairman's doing. We're talking about a guy that found out that Ford was looking to obtain a systems company to handle their communications and hopped a plane to Michigan. While there, he totally undercut other companies and basically pulled out the bargaining kneepads and won the contract. No wonder he is so paranoid. On another subject, he brags that he invented the "kernel" system for keeping track of solutions to problems, on that cold Thanksgiving day. IBM, his former employer, started the kernel system long before he took credit for it. You might as well call him Christopher Columbus. Undercutting others and taking credit where credit is not due = paranoia. Hence, the access and tcc reports.

Thank you,(bow)thank you!

Your coordinates are now being pinpointed, I'm sure.

I know the grenade story...at least the 3rd hand version of it. Does anybody want me to post it?

Go ahead so people will quit asking for it.

Whatever happened to the owner's son. I remember him keying his dad's car in the company parking lot.

Did he blame it on others?

Post the damn grenade story. I think someone posted it earlier and then edited the message later.

I got in trouble today because I punched "01-Dining Room" instead of "06-Outside Lunch" when I went to Freebirds for lunch. Apparently, I was being sneaky and deceiving. Give me a fargin' break.

I will still remember the triumphant feeling of hitting "99" for the last time and walking away from that place.

Jeezus you got in trouble for that? CS must be way different that Houston, or at least it sounds like it.

Please, the grenade story, for the love.
