When working for BT on bench electronics repair I was taken aside by
the union rep and asked to slow down.

Care to say which year this was?

Erm, 5 years in the late 70's or so?

I understood it though ... different people worked at different speeds
and they had to agree a time for a batch of units that were actually
achievable by 'most people'. If you weren't able to hit their (union)
agreed targets mean you also got a talking to.
