Damiro, who moved to the UK in 1971 and had worked at LSE for 13 years, told Metro UK that she found the bracelet during her cleaning shift and absentmindedly slipped it into her purse, intending to hand it in later.
When questioned by management three days later, she returned the bracelet, but was still suspended and eventually dismissed for gross misconduct.
“I can’t sleep. I have never had a bad record or been to HR before in my life,” she said.
“LSE have treated me really badly. It was my only job, and I loved working there. I never expected to be suspended or dismissed.
