The interview itself was not a problem.

Line X team leader

The male team leader is extremely woman-like, loves to nag, and can be emotional at times. He always has a sour look on his face. This department cannot retain employees and is constantly replacing people. He does not chat much with colleagues; aside from handling work, he hardly talks to anyone privately. He basically keeps to himself. Extremely rigid and inflexible. I couldn't stand it.

When I worked with a new colleague, productivity was too low.

I told the new employee to take her time and work steadily. I hoped she could do the job well before focusing on her own output. The team leader then went to watch the surveillance cameras and check the content of our conversation. Because the team leader nagged her, the new colleague became very angry and kept saying that the team leader was annoying and nagged too much. The new colleague also asked about the team leader's situation at the company. To be frank, he really has no rapport with anyone.

Because there had been a problem with low productivity the first time, I counted the output myself while working at the first station. Sure enough, that day's output exceeded the required standard. This also protected me.

Later, when doing the same work again, the new colleague was working at the first station and once again failed to meet the productivity standard. I was at the second station (the first station controls the output quantity).

At that point, the team leader nagged both of us. He knew perfectly well what had happened, so I told him that I had recorded the quantity last time and that the productivity target had been met. The next day, he told the new colleague that she needed to improve herself.

The next time we did the same work, when a new colleague was at the first station, the team leader made unreasonable demands, insisting that the target had to be met no matter what.

I felt that the work itself was quite okay. I can only say that I was unlucky to encounter this team leader. Whatever!

I went to the restroom two or three, or three or four, times a day during work hours and was reprimanded. He was upset and kept watching me while I worked. I had previously told the team leader that, because of my health, I needed to drink more water, which naturally meant I would also need to use the restroom.

I felt that he was my team leader, 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 twice to check on me 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, so I went to my locker to get my phone and time myself. After using the restroom, I put my phone back in the locker and hurried back to the line to work. I spent 10 minutes in the restroom because of the 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 very nervous and stressed. I often held in my urine, which caused severe swelling in my legs. In the end, the team leader 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 there was no need because I no longer wanted to work 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 team leader or being treated this way. I truly felt aggrieved. I only hope that at my next job, I can meet a good supervisor.

At my previous job, when I needed to use the restroom, the supervisor said I could just go and did not need to report it—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 output met the target, that was all that mattered.

We were even allowed to wear earphones and listen to music while working.

Later, because there were fewer orders, the company downsized and laid off employees.

Everything stated above is completely true.
