The interview itself did not have any particular problems.

Line X Department Team Leader

The male team leader is extremely feminine, nags a lot, and is sometimes 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 talks with anyone privately. He basically keeps to himself and is extremely rigid. I couldn't stand it.

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

I told the new employee to take it slowly and work steadily. I hoped she could do the job well before focusing on meeting her own quantity targets. 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 he was 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 rapport with people.

Because there had been a problem with low output the first time, when I worked at the first station, I recorded the quantity myself. As expected, the output that day exceeded the standard. This also helped protect me.

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

At that point, the team leader nagged both of us again. He knew what had happened, so I told him that I had recorded the quantity 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 made unreasonable demands and insisted that the target had to be met no matter what.

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

I went to the restroom two or three, or three or four, times a day during working 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 restroom.

I felt that he was my team leader, and I had already explained this to him, but instead of speaking up for his team member, he acted this way. I felt that 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 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 about the issue, so I went to my locker to get my phone and time myself using the restroom. After finishing, 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 took about five minutes to walk back and forth, and the work area was 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 it was unnecessary because I no longer wanted to continue working. The assistant manager was also very kind and told me to think it through 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 wronged. I only hoped that I could meet a good supervisor at my next job.

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. It was very humane. Even if I was hungry sometimes, it was okay to eat a small bite of a biscuit.

As long as the work output met the target, that was enough.

We could even wear earphones and listen to music while working.

Later, due to a lack of orders, the company downsized and laid off employees.

Everything stated above is completely true.
