| The records reveal that the conduct of respondent Cardeño fell short of this standard. Respondent's act constitutes misconduct. Misconduct is a transgression of some established or definite rule of action; more particularly, it is an unlawful behavior by the public officer.[7] 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.[8] Such conduct is exacted from them so that they will earn and keep the public's respect for and confidence in the judicial service.[9] This standard is applied with respect to a court employee's dealings not only with the public but also with his or her co-workers in the service. Conduct violative of this standard quickly and surely erodes respect for the courts.[10] | |||||

Misbehavior within and around their vicinity diminishes their sanctity and dignity. | |||||
