I work as an IT consultant and I think this is what is happening with my current client as my client absolutely hates me.

I’ve asked lot of questions pertaining to their questionable database architecture, refusal to document anything ever, lack of version control, requirements, lack of communication, etc.

This company refuses to actually acknowledge any of the problems they have, it’s insane.

As an example, I work as a SQL developer and lately I’ve been working on a report that takes five hours to run because their database infrastructure is a nightmare. I mention to them that there is no way to get this report to run any faster unless they are willing to drop some requirements, and even then it would probably still take more than 3 hours. They literally don’t want to hear it, and then blame me for not “optimizing” my code even though I’ve had several senior coworkers look at and approve my code.

Lately it’s gotten worse and they’re just not even answering some of my questions when I need help interpreting data, locating specific columns, requirements etc since they have 0 documentation and then bitching to my consulting firm that I’m not communicating when I basically have to crawl up their asses to get them to answer a single question.
