The interview itself did not have any particular problems.

Line X Department Team Leader

The male team leader is extremely feminine, very 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 his coworkers; 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 coworker, our productivity was too low.

I told the new employee to take her time and work steadily. I wanted her to do the job well before asking her to increase her output. The team leader then went to check the surveillance cameras and review 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 put it bluntly, he really has no people skills.

Because of the first issue with low productivity, I counted my own output while working at the first station. Sure enough, my output that day exceeded the required production level. This also allowed me to protect myself.

Later, when we did the same work again, the new coworker was working at the first station and again failed to meet the productivity 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 productivity 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, when a new coworker was assigned to the first station, the team leader made an unreasonable demand: regardless of the circumstances, the output had to meet the target.

I felt the work itself was quite 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 work hours and was reprimanded. 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, which meant 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 standing up for his team member, 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 production line twice to look for me and checked the surveillance footage to see when I entered and left. When I returned, he came over to question me about how long I had been in the restroom. I became very nervous because of the issue. I went to my locker to get my phone so I could time myself using the restroom. Afterward, I put my phone back in the locker and hurried back to the line to work. I spent 10 minutes in the restroom because of my stomachache.

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

The restroom issue made me extremely 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 did not want to continue working there. The assistant manager was very kind and told me to think it over carefully and not act impulsively.

I went home and thought about it for two days, 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 restroom, my supervisor told me to just go and that I did not need to ask. It was very humane. Even if I was hungry sometimes, it was okay to eat a small biscuit.

As long as the work output met the target, it was fine.

We were even allowed to 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.
