The interview itself did not have any particular problems.

Line X department team leader

The male team leader is extremely feminine, very fond of nagging, and sometimes emotional. He always has a sour expression. His department cannot retain employees and is constantly replacing people. He does not really chat with colleagues; apart from handling work, he hardly talks with anyone privately. Basically, he keeps to himself. He is extremely rigid. I couldn't stand it.

When I worked with a new colleague, the 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 extremely annoying and nagged too much. The new colleague also asked about the team leader's situation at the company. To be completely honest, he really has no interpersonal appeal.

Because of the first issue involving low productivity, when I was working at the first station, I recorded the quantity myself. As expected, that day's productivity exceeded the standard. This also allowed me to protect myself.

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 productivity quantity).

At that point, the team leader nagged at both of us again. It wasn't as if he didn't know what had happened, so I told him that I had recorded the quantity last time and that the 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 demand, but that no matter what, the quantity still had to meet the target.

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 restroom two or three, or three or four, times a day during work hours and was reprimanded. 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 restroom.

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 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 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 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 check and time how long I had been 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 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 medical certificate, I said I didn't need to—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 went home and thought about it for two days, but I still couldn't 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, if I needed to use the restroom, the supervisor said I could just go and didn't need to report it. They were very humane; even if I sometimes got hungry, it was fine to eat a small biscuit.

As long as the 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.
