In Deegan v. City of Mountain View (1999) 72 Cal.App.4th 37, the charge was phrased in similar language. In that case, a city worker was charged with conduct unbecoming of a city employee and offensive treatment of the public and fellow employees, citing specific examples "as well as a perceived pattern of prior similar incidents involving alleged abusive treatment of coworkers, supervisors, management and the general public . . . ." ( Id. at p. 42.) In upholding the discipline against Deegan, this court stressed the fact that the likelihood of recurrence of such conduct was fairly high "given the common thread of Deegan's apparent inability to control his temper, and sometimes his conduct . . . ." ( Id. at p. 52.)
