The interview itself was not a problem.
Line X department supervisor
The male supervisor is extremely like a woman, very nagging, and sometimes emotional, with a sour face. His department cannot retain employees and is constantly replacing people. He does not chat much with colleagues; aside from handling work, he hardly talks with anyone privately. He basically keeps to himself. Extremely rigid and by-the-book. I couldn't stand it.
When I worked with a new colleague, productivity was too low.
I told the new employee to take it slowly and do the work steadily. I hoped she could do it well before worrying about her own numbers. The supervisor then went to watch the surveillance footage and check the content of our conversation. Because the supervisor nagged at her, the new colleague became very angry and kept saying that the supervisor was annoying and extremely nagging. The new colleague also asked about the supervisor's situation at the company. To be honest, he really has no rapport with people.
Because there had been a problem with low productivity the first time, I kept track of the numbers myself when I was working at the first station. As expected, my productivity that day exceeded the required standard. This also helped protect me.
Later, when we did the same work again, the new colleague was working at the first station and once again did not meet the productivity standard. I was at the second station (the first station controls the productivity numbers).
At that point, the supervisor nagged at both of us. It wasn't as though he didn't know what had happened, so I told him that I had recorded the numbers last time and that the productivity target had been met. The next day, he told the new colleague that she needed to improve on her own.
The next time we did the same work, when a new colleague was at the first station, the supervisor said it was an unreasonable demand: no matter what, the numbers had to meet the target.
I felt that the work itself was quite okay. I can only say that I was unlucky to encounter this supervisor. Whatever!
I went to the restroom two or three, or three or four, times a day during work hours and was criticized. He was unhappy and kept watching me while I worked. I had previously told the supervisor that, because of my health, I needed to drink more water, which meant I would also need to use the restroom.
I felt that he was my supervisor, and I had already explained this to him. Instead of speaking up for his team member, he acted this way. I feel that he is a person without warmth. This was the first time I had encountered a supervisor like this.
The last time, I went to the restroom because of stomach pain. He came to the line to check on me twice and reviewed the surveillance footage to see when I entered and left. When he came back, he questioned me about how long I had been in the restroom. I became very nervous because of the restroom issue. I went to my locker to get my phone so I could time myself and check how long I had been in the restroom. After I finished, I put my phone back in the locker and hurried back to the line to work. I had been in the restroom for ten minutes because of my stomach pain.
It takes about five minutes to walk there and back, and the work area is somewhat far away.
The restroom issue made me extremely nervous and stressed. I often held in my urine, which caused severe swelling in my legs. In the end, the supervisor pressured me into submitting my resignation.
I told the assistant manager about the situation. Although the assistant manager allowed me to provide a health certificate, I said it was not necessary because I no longer wanted to continue working there. The assistant manager was also very kind and told me to think it over carefully and not act out of anger.
I thought about it for two days after going home, but I still could not accept this supervisor or being treated this way. I truly felt wronged. I only hope that at my next job, I can meet a good supervisor.
At my previous job, my supervisor said that if I needed to use the restroom, I could just go and did not need to say anything. It was very humane. Even if I was hungry sometimes, it was fine to eat a small bite of a biscuit.
As long as the work productivity target was met, that was enough.
We could even wear earphones and listen to music at work.
Later, because there were fewer orders, the company downsized and laid off employees.
Everything stated above is completely true.
