| High-strung and belligerent behavior has no place in government service, where the personnel are enjoined to act with self-restraint and civility at all times even when confronted with rudeness and insolence.[14] More so is such conduct exacted from court employees, since they have to earn and keep the public's respect for and confidence in the judicial service.[15] This standard of conduct must apply to the court employees' dealings not only with the public, but also with their co-workers. How can court employees be expected to treat members of the public, who are mostly complete strangers to them, with respect, restraint, and civility, when they cannot accord the same treatment to one another, whom they closely work with on a daily basis? | |||||
