The interview itself did not have any particular problems.

Line X department team leader

The male team leader is extremely woman-like, very nagging, and sometimes emotional, with 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. Extremely rigid and inflexible. I couldn't stand it.

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

I told the newcomer to take her time 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 footage and check the content of our conversation. Because the team leader nagged at her, the new coworker became very angry and kept saying that the team leader was annoying and extremely nagging. The new coworker also asked about the team leader's situation at the company. To be frank, he really has no rapport with anyone.

Because there had already been an issue with low output once, when I worked at the first station, I recorded the quantity myself. Sure enough, my output that day exceeded the standard, and this also protected me.

Later, when we did the same work again, the new coworker was working at the first station and once again did not meet the output standard. I was at the second station (the first station controls the output quantity).

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 the output had met the standard. The next day, he told the new coworker that she needed to improve herself.

The next time we did the same work and encountered a new coworker at the first station, the team leader made an unreasonable demand: regardless of the circumstances, the quantity had to meet the target.

I felt that the work itself was quite OK. I can only say that I had bad luck running into this team leader. Whatever!

I went to the restroom two or three, or three to four, times a day during work hours and was nagged about it. He was unhappy and kept watching me while I worked. I had told the team leader that, because of my health, I needed to drink more water, so I would also need to use the restroom.

I felt that he was my team leader, and I had already explained the situation to him. 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 the times I entered and left. When he returned, he came to question me about how long I had been in the restroom. I became very nervous because of the issue with using the restroom, so I went to my locker to get my phone in order to time myself and check how long I had been in there. After using the restroom, I put my phone back in the locker and hurried back to the line to work. It took 10 minutes because I had a stomachache.

The walk there and back took about five minutes, and the work area was somewhat far away.

The issue with using the restroom 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 submit medical documentation regarding my health, I said I did not need to and that 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 impulsively.

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, if I needed to use the restroom, the supervisor said I could just go and did not need to ask. It was very humane. Even if I sometimes got hungry and ate a small biscuit, it was fine.

As long as the work output 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.
