Asking your employer (rather than the vendor) to be flexible in
this instance is unreasonable IMHO

Yes, we already know you are the employer from hell.

No you don't, because I am not an employer :-)

But even if I was, I am the sort of person who would be reasonable as
possible about such issues, but I still wouldn't consider the insistence
on
agreeing a flexible completion date as a valid reason for disrupting a,
months in advance, pre-planned shift system.

It's not a flexible date, but one that's firmly set at short notice.

It's flexible in the sense that you have willingly said to the vendor "I can
do any day" rather than "It must be May 10, 11, 15, 16, 22, 23 etc".

With rentals it's even more common to have only a couple of week's notice.

How come? You get 2 months notice for having to leave. Even if you push it
to a court order the court will give you some flexibility for the day to
move.
