he can move you for the so called 12 weeks of nobody posting or buying parcels etc (summer collapse) :left: but just tell him that it doesn't matter what duty you put me I will be working the same and will still be working my hours and cutting off . bye :wave then if he does start picking you out stick a grievance in .

Just cut off or insist you will not work over your time unless he pays up. He is treating you like a mug and you're letting him get away with it. Working to your time and not being able to complete is 100% not wilful delay, he wouldn't have a leg to stand on. Your job is not to complete your unrealistic workload it's to work your scheduled time.

Ok many thanks I have now told him to test me as I try neighbours and I know for a fact the idiot who floats doesn't and he runs doing job at least an hour faster than me he is also pt but comes in 50 mins early every day really pissing me off I have told him I will double prep for summer but am also telling him I will only work my hours and will cut off as I can't complete he says he will have to change me as I am being obstruction all which means I will just slow someone else down! There has been no resign but he is saying I am too slow and will take things further if my speed doesn't improve! What can he do?

Let him change you then. What it means is he'll put you on a duty he knows you will be able to complete.The way I put it is, a DOM will tell any lie to whip you into working faster.He may move you or not. All you need do is work your hours.By the way I bet he doesn't test you as you've asked to be tested.Don't let them get to you.
