Don't fight the system, use it.

Approx 10% of the people I helped get the PMP over the past 15 years experience a similar problem. They go back to their organizations, and apply their new knowledge and confidence (to know how to do things). This is not well perceived, it is seen as arrogance, hybris, or just a changed conduct threatening power structures.

My advice is to apply stakeholder analysis and engagement, get supporters and become political. Or move. Most move.
Thanks!

Do you know why people are reacting negatively to the PMP holder? Some might fear the accountability project management brings to an organization, particularly when they know their incompetence, inefficiency or dishonesty will likely be revealed. Others detest the increased bureaucracy they believe project management will bring about. You can’t do anything about the former group, but you can address the latter group’s fears by performing successful projects for those open to project management. When people see others’ projects succeeding while their own are experiencing problems, they will likely begin to change their minds regarding project management.

"It is an important and popular fact that things are not always what they seem. For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much -- the wheel, New York, wars and so on -- whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man -- for precisely the same reasons."
