I worked with a contractor once who was a complete chancer. Turned up to meetings with no means of taking notes or recording actions; they soon got found out he could not do the role, to be fair to him, he did manage 3 months of blagging it! Even if you're a bit tired the client has seen something they did not like and you have been binned. Chalk it off to experience and move on.
