Mpho, on the other hand, said people's pay slips used to be left lying around in the station:

"Sometimes it happened that you'd go to the printer and find that someone left confidential information."

Sizwe, who worked at Y from 2011 to 2013, added:

"When internet banking first started, at Y, people would leave their internet banking open sometimes. You are just there like, 'This guy has a balance of what?'"

Speaking of "peanuts," Briefly News shared Warras' revelations about how much he was getting while working seven-hour shifts at YFM, and how much more he was offered by another station.

Social media users discussed salaries and the pay gaps between certain employees.

The salary discussion was sparked after Penny Ntuli, a former Gagasi FM presenter, parted ways with the station and revealed how much they were offering her.

"Back when payslips used to get delivered, people would open and forget about them. I saw my manager's payslip. That bra didn't even have a matric, but he was making 10x my salary. Yeah, I was 18, but still, man. Yes, he was."

GatsheniSanele9 called out the station:

"@Yfm, what do you have to say for yourself?"
