Struggling with Unwanted Role Change and Toxic Team Dynamics at Capgemini

I joined Capgemini as a lateral hire with three years of experience specializing in web automation and api testing with Java. However I was assigned to a startup client and asked to work with Python instead. Despite this I managed to continue web automation and api testing using Python. Now, the management is pushing me towards mobile testing—a domain I have no prior experience in or interest in learning. On top of that, the team environment is toxic, making the situation even more frustrating. I'm at a crossroads unsure whether to continue in this role or look for a release.
