Got fired from a job for the first time. Is it fair 😠👎

I got fired from a job for the very first time. I'm honestly trying to wrap my head around it and hoping to get some outside perspective. We were two guys, brought in to put Hardie siding on a 40-foot wall, with the customer agreeing to pay hourly. The big problem is that he had framed the house himself, and let's just say the quality wasn't stellar. We spent a couple of hours trying to fix messed-up truss tails, outriggers, and fascia, knowing full well it still wouldn't be perfect because of the initial poor work. Then there was the service panel – it was installed way too early, with conduit sticking out right into the boxing area. I spent another hour trying everything to lower it, but it just wasn't budging. We worked full 8-hour days, Monday and Tuesday. But then, Tuesday night, the customer called. Basically, he claimed he could have done the whole job in a single day, and just like that, I was off the project. He even refused to pay. I‘ll find him to talk about that. Did I deserve to be fired for this? #Fired #WorkLife #ConstructionFails #UnfairTreatment #JobSeeker #EmploymentIssues #SeekingAdvice
