Definition
State in which an original design engineer, whose work has been criticized in a reviewing engineer's report, files a formal complaint with a professional registration board alleging that the reviewing engineer acted improperly, was not objective, omitted pertinent information, and obtained employment through questionable methods — where the complaint itself may be motivated by reputational self-protection rather than genuine professional misconduct, raising ethical questions about the propriety of using regulatory complaint mechanisms to suppress legitimate professional criticism.
