Whats your overall margin? I would assume that you are able to build it for $100,-?
But yes i think you did not had enough experience working with agencies. They oversold you as the sales people usually do and than you fix their issues. You should have stoped as soon as it was clear that they lost some agreements when moving from the nice ceo to the developers.
I was working for a company who was doing development for other companies. The team setups are cost optimized. Like the dude who smokes weed every day and only gets 45k / year salary but is sold as a fulltime senior developer. Or the working student who has 2 years frontend experience but 0 years <insert your JS Framework of choice> experience who might get sold as junior or normal developer.
Or people who are part of your project for 2 month, the company knows that they will go on maternity leave and they just replace one but neither tell you that or really assume thats just fine. Its not fine. They need again time to onboard and it costs you money.
All of this is more or less shitty, but the companies going to contractors normally offload all of software developer hiring, onboarding, teaching etc. So its a tradeoff. A trade off companies have to decide on.
But i would never ever do this as a small company as you are, ever. And i only did this with a small company who was having 5 employees with a very clear target architecture and specific goals. And they also tried this shit on me with the 'i have someone who doesn't speak that well german or english and is not that good but we can offload him on that project' and i spoke up after 1 week because i'm not paying for someone i can't communicate issues clearly. Red flag alert was there immedidatly.
