She didn't take it home or used, perhaps a honest mistake which embarrassed her employer |

She should have handed it immediately or told her supervisor. Using forgetfulness is too convenient Successsearch90: |

I once forgot body worn camera after shift.I discovered it after leaving the premises.I went back immediately I discovered it but they already closed all the doors.Then, I decided to go and return it the following day. They reported it to the office and I explained. I returned it the following day and that was the end. Some evil minded people would have reacted to it differently. |

I have questions mehn. How many days does she work in a week? She was reached out to for the bracelet after “a few days”. Is it that she didn’t go to work she since she picked it up or had no reason put on her work clothes? If the answer is Yes, fine. But if the answer is No, she had been to work since then or put on those same clothes yet failed to return it; that shows intent. She was most probably keeping it hoping no one would ask about it, cuz i know these UK schools have modalities for ‘lost and found’ items. |

This is a difficult one cos does it mean if they never confronted her about the bracelet she would not remember to return it? it should not take her days to turn in the missing bracelet.. |

Those people believe in their CCTV more than human beings. There was a time I forgot to sign in on two consecutive days and went straight to work because my clients were already waiting. HR called to ask days later, and I told her I was at work on those days and that I was assigned some special clients that day. I even told her to confim from my line managers. She rather went ahead to call Technical to send her CCTV footages of my exit from the elevator before she could believe. They always feel you want to be smart, especially when you have a green passport. |

As usual and expected l see a lot of people who have never stepped into the UK or worked in their system making a lot of comments here. The simple truth is that people of colour will always be treated differently (poorly) compared to the white citizens. Would they have summarily dismissed the woman if she were to be white? The answer is No! A lot of blacks are undergoing this type of treatment in UK. Racism and discrimination can never end in the Europe. Let's not deceive ourselves... |

She stands punished. She must have been doing it for long. She just got caught. Her family should cover the shame and hide their pride in dignity. She must have been caught on camera. Forget ko. Forgot ni. |

Darlingtina16:this is not Nigeria or society where everything passes with “abeg I am sorry it was a mistake “. There is a code of conduct on everything in office spaces , how to handle missing items, lost but found! Even accepting a gift from a subordinate or client! Very little things that might influence your decision! So no silly excuse ! And if everyone is excused for a bridge of code of conduct and ethics ! A society will fall so fast! Many things we view as normal is pure craze! In Nigerian banks, you will make a large withdrawal over the counter for example and hand over some cash to the taller as a token of appreciation… and there will boldly receive the cash at the full watching eyes of the people and cctv cameras and nothing is done!!! We will even justify it! A lot of madness won’t go unpunished or at least there must be an intend or act of discipline that is how humans are tamed! We are all wild beast and corrupt ! The rules and laws put us in checks when implemented |
