1) Another tyrannical project manager situation (see that other forum thread) and you have been unlucky to with him or her for the second time running.
2) The pace of public sector is very drawn out and forcing any change like agile, digital and infrastructure transformation requires a certain authority and political power. Contractors are not consultants sadly and I'd say 98% we don't have the power, the other side has the power. We can only vote with our two feet.
3) Yet another example of BLAME CULTURE and unfortunately you are the contractor with the target on your back marked as Dispensible for Whatever, Whenever and Wherever. If you want guarantees then switch to permanent employment and even then probation periods can drag on for up to 2 years legally.
4) The project manager personally knows some other contractor that will soon fill your position. In other words, your productivity is not good, your communication and your relationship is not good; and the PM is pining for old contractor (the old mate), who will soon return that your position when they finished their current gig (I've seen that happen very recently to another guy).
5) The company want to outsource your position in a few months and this just an excuse to get terminate the contract and save budget
Try not to take it to heart, absorb the criticism, reflect, learn, reform and move to the next contract gig. Personally I have recently seen (1) and (3) and it is really annoying. I think this is generally the state of the art in post Brexit Britain, the uncertainty, the politics and increase of blame culture. Just make sure that you, fix you.
