The interview itself did not have any particular problems.

Line X department team leader

The male team leader is extremely feminine, loves to nag, and can sometimes be emotional. He always has a sour expression. His department cannot retain employees and is constantly replacing people. He does not chat much with colleagues; apart from handling work, he hardly ever talks with anyone privately. He basically keeps to himself. He is extremely rigid and inflexible. I couldn't stand it.

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

I told the newcomer to take her time and work steadily. I hoped she could do the job well before asking her to increase her own output. The team leader then went to watch the surveillance footage and check the content of our conversations. Because the team leader nagged at 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 put it bluntly, he really has no rapport with anyone.

Because of the first problem involving low productivity, I counted the units myself while working at the first station. As expected, my output that day exceeded the 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 production quantity).

At that point, the team leader nagged at both of us. He knew perfectly well what had happened, so I told him that I had counted the units last time and that the output had met the standard. 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 said it was an unreasonable requirement, but insisted that the target had to be met no matter what.

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

I went to the bathroom two or three, sometimes three or four, times a day during work hours and was nagged about it. He was unhappy 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 meant I would also need to use the bathroom more often.

I felt that he was my team leader and I had already explained this to him, but instead of speaking to me as one of his team members, he acted this way. I felt he was a person without warmth. This was the first time I had encountered a supervisor like this.

The last time, I went to the bathroom 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 came over to question me about how long I had been in the bathroom. I became very nervous over the bathroom issue, so I went to my locker to get my phone and time myself to see how long I had been in the bathroom. After using the bathroom, I put my phone back in the locker and hurried back to the line to work. I had stomach pain and was in the bathroom for 10 minutes.

It takes about five minutes to walk there and back, and the work area is somewhat far away.

The bathroom issue made me very tense 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 medical documentation, I said there was no need because I did not want to continue working there. The assistant manager was also very kind and told me to think it over carefully and not to act out of anger.

I thought about it for two days after returning home, but I still could not accept this team leader 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, when I needed to use the bathroom, the supervisor said I could just go and did not need to ask. 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.
