The interview itself didn't have any particular problems.
Line X department team leader
The male team leader is extremely woman-like, loves nagging, and is sometimes emotional. He always has a sour expression. His department cannot retain employees and is constantly replacing people. He doesn't really chat with coworkers; aside from handling work, he hardly talks to anyone privately. He basically keeps to himself. Extremely rigid. Unbearable.
When I worked with a new coworker, the productivity was too low.
I told the new employee to take it slowly and do the work steadily. I hoped she could do it well before asking her to increase her quantity. The team leader then went to look at the surveillance cameras 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 nagged far too much. The new coworker also asked about the team leader's situation at the company. To put it bluntly, he really has no rapport with people.
Because there had been a previous problem with low productivity, when I worked at the first station, I recorded the quantity myself. As expected, that day's productivity exceeded the standard output. 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 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. It wasn't as though he didn't know what was going on, 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 at the first station, the team leader made an unreasonable demand: no matter what, the quantity had to meet the target.
I felt the work itself was quite okay. I can only say that I was unlucky to run into this team leader. Whatever!
I was criticized for going to the bathroom two or three, or even three or four, times a day during work hours. He was unhappy and kept staring at me while I worked. I had previously told the team leader that, because of my health, I needed to drink more water, so I would also need to use the bathroom.
I felt that he was my team leader, and I had already told him about it. He did not speak up for his own team member and instead 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 bathroom because of stomach pain. He came to the line to check on me twice and reviewed the surveillance footage to see when I entered and left. When he returned, he came to question me about how long I had been in the bathroom. Because of the issue with using the bathroom, I became very nervous. I went to my locker to get my phone so I could check and time how long I had spent in the bathroom. After using the bathroom, I put my phone back in the locker and hurried back to the line to work. My stomach hurt, and I spent 10 minutes in the bathroom.
It takes about five minutes to walk there and back, and the work area is somewhat far away.
The bathroom 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 submit medical documentation, I said it was unnecessary 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 out of impulse.
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, when I needed to use the bathroom, my supervisor said I could just go and didn't need to say anything. It was very humane. Even if I was hungry sometimes, it was okay to eat a small biscuit.
As long as the work productivity met the target, that was enough.
I 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.
