The interview itself did not present any particular problems.

Line X department team leader

The male team leader is extremely woman-like, nags a lot, and sometimes becomes emotional. He always has a sour expression. His department cannot retain employees and is constantly replacing people. He does not really chat with coworkers; apart from handling work, he hardly 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 new employee to take her time and work steadily. I hoped she could do the job well before requiring herself to meet a certain quantity. The team leader then went to watch the surveillance cameras and check the content of our conversation. Because the team leader nagged at her, the new colleague became very angry and kept saying that the team leader was annoying and nagged constantly. The new colleague also asked about the team leader's situation at the company. To be completely honest, he really has no rapport with people.

Because of the first problem with low productivity, when I was working at the first station, I recorded the quantity myself. Sure enough, that day's productivity exceeded the standard. This also protected me.

Later, when we did 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 quantity produced).

At that point, the team leader nagged at both of us. He knew what had happened, so I told him that I had recorded the quantity last time and that productivity 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 quantity had to meet the target no matter what.

I felt the work itself was quite okay. I can only say that I had bad luck and happened 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 became 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 meant I would also need to use the restroom more often.

I felt that he was my team leader, and I had already explained this to him. 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 restroom because I had a stomachache. He came to the line twice to check on me, and adjusted the surveillance footage to look at the times I entered and left. When he came back, he questioned me about how long I had spent in the restroom. Because of the issue with using the restroom, I became very nervous. I went to my locker to get my phone so I could time myself and check how long I had spent in the restroom. After using the restroom, I put my phone back in the locker and hurried back to the line to work. I was in the restroom for 10 minutes because of my stomachache.

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

The issue with using the restroom 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 it was not necessary 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 on impulse.

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 really 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 restroom, my supervisor said I could just go and did not need to report it. They were very humane. Even if I was hungry sometimes, it was okay to eat a small bite of a cookie.

As long as work productivity met the target, 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.
