Now I'm on the hook for rewriting a bunch of content if I want to keep my contracts. The relationship is over with. poo poo. Has anyone had to handle this before? Giving them a second chance seems like a bad idea.

ty for the advice Bottom line is that I didn't lose any customers over this big dumb mess, but it made me look like a giant idiot. Of the 22 pieces of content that they submitted, 20 of them had outright plagiarism. It wasn't subtle, it was all copy and paste stuff, and in some cases it made up the bulk of the work. I spent the week rewriting all of that content forcing me to juggle my workload in order to keep everyone happy. It was stressful and Bad. 10 seconds with copyscape would have saved me a whole lot of work, but I was too trusting. Sometimes it's awkward to check your partners work but you should do it anyway without telling them. I think the worst case happened because it was the customer who caught the mistake. There is zero chance of me working with the writer again, even if I wanted to the scope of the damage was just way too bad. It was really only honest and open communication with the client that kept this from being an absolute gigantic turd of a professional failure.
