Toxic environment at the Client’s company

Throwaway jic. The company I am working for as a Consultant has a very healthy work environment and culture. They're great. However, I've recently been embedded into the Client's team as a full-time engagement with a super toxic work environment. My manager on the Client side is asking me to provide various complex daily reports, forcing to turn ON cameras and just micromanaging my whole workday, expressing poor judgment on project priorities, etc. Overall, there is an atmosphere of mistrust and suspicion. I have not received proper onboarding or knowledge transfer and have been placed on high-priority projects, which will most likely be delayed. How can I get out of this situation without coming off as not flexible/accommodating to my company? Is it worth giving it a try and trying to establish some professional practices and boundaries? It's a high-profile multimillion-dollar Client, well known, so there is little leverage. Thank…
