Clients with toxic cultures: how have you dealt with them?

Our team morale is pretty bad and we’ve had a couple of people leave because of it.

Need a quick point of view all - today on a group call, I asked a new c level male exec if it was fine for me to provide a client with a piece of information we had been discussing on the call (this required his approval).

I’m a senior female employee at the company and this guy has already had issues at the company with his tone, thoughts? Am I overreacting?
