RID Interpreters: The CPC is a shield for bullies. The ultimate irony of a specialized profession is when the Code of Professional Conduct—a document designed to uphold integrity—is weaponized to protect the people destroying it.

When the rules dictate that calling out lateral violence, sabotage, and gatekeeping is a "violation of professional respect," the code effectively becomes a shield for bullies. It forces ethical professionals into silence while allowing toxic behavior to thrive under the guise of compliance.

Nothing changes because the system is rigged to keep the victims quiet under the threat of a penalty. Walking away isn't quitting; it's refusing to play a rigged game.
