If you look in your contract there will probably be a clause that say's they can give you 0 days notice for any reason they damn well see fit, take the two days and start the new gig

What is the client going to say in this tulip reference? The contractor didnt do a good job? The contractor let us down badly by upping and leaving with no notice?
You might try and do this seeing as you frequently give the impression you are in a position to hire and fire but misrepresent the facts and you'll get more than a rap on the knuckles.I couldn't give two fornicators! Yes, really!Comment

Q1) What dates did the contractor work for / with you?
Q2) Would you work with / engage the contractor again?
No scope to give a reason for yes or no, but there was a space to effectively give a negative reference if you wanted / needed to.Comment

You might be surprised at how small the world is, especially if niche skills or same town or type of business
Many years ago a contractor working with me in the whisky industry at allied Dom, jumped ship at critical part of project for £10 a day more, I'm still in touch with both him and boss at the time, the boss refers to him as the 'turncoat' and has been asked for an informal reference many times from others within the industry about him. but we won't be replying to them in writing !!Comment

I'm not sure what a "tulip reference" is (I'm still new here/to contracting) but I assume it's a black mark against my name. If that's the case, I'll take it on the chin and move on. I'm not going to turn down a 9 month contract for the sake of a week (which would have been all that was left if I'd worked my full notice), rightly or wrongly.Comment
