The interview itself was not really a problem.

Line X department team leader

The male team leader is extremely feminine, loves nagging, and can be emotional at times. He always has a sour expression. His department cannot retain employees and is constantly replacing people. He does not really chat with his colleagues; aside from handling work, he hardly talks to anyone privately. He basically keeps to himself. 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 it slowly and do the work steadily. I wanted her to do it well before asking her to increase her own output. The team leader then went to look at the surveillance footage 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 annoying and an extreme nag. The new colleague also asked about the team leader's situation at the company. To put it bluntly, he really has no interpersonal appeal.

Because of the first productivity issue, when I was working at the first station, I recorded the quantities myself. Sure enough, my productivity that day exceeded the standard output. This also protected me.

Later, when we did the same work again, the new colleague 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 quantity produced).

At that point, the team leader nagged at both of us again. He knew perfectly well what had happened, so I told him that I had recorded the quantities 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 assigned to the first station, the team leader made an unreasonable demand: no matter what, the quantity had to meet the target.

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

I went to the restroom two or three times, or three to four times, during a workday and was nagged about it. He was upset and kept watching me while I worked. I had previously told the team leader that, because of my physical condition, 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 told him about the situation, but he did not speak up for his team member and acted this way instead. 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 production line to look for me twice and checked 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 because of the restroom issue, so I went to my locker to get my phone in order to time myself and check 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 production line to work. I spent ten 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 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 there was no need 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 anger.

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 in my next job, I can meet a good supervisor.

At my previous job, when I needed to use the restroom, my supervisor said I could just go and did not need to say anything. It was very humane. Even if I was hungry sometimes, it was fine to eat a small cookie.

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

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.
