Before revealing the numbers, she shared that the employee had worked eleven years at the "big company" that sells food and clothes. The retail manager only has a high school qualification and works five days a week. 

The employee told Boni that:

"I feel underpaid because I'm actually responsible for almost all processes in my department. I lead a team of more than five people. I delegate tasks."

Social media users were underwhelmed by a retail manager's income and commented:

@Diana thought the patterns were similar:

"I'm sure it's Woolworths. I used to work there, and the managers cried."

@peachheart🧡 was stunned:

"A managerial position with only matric?"

@Dr-Lhuu Jama wondered:

"If a manager gets this, how much does the teller get?"

@lethabojoyce4 shared:

"Even Shoprite doesn't pay less than 15k for a manager."

@MM commented:

"That's @Woolworths. My parents worked there! My mom resigned when I started working cause back then; my salary was above hers...mind you, she worked there for over 30 years!"

@Codesa advised the employee to speak up:

"Boni, please ask if people are scared to ask for a raise. That's literally the only thing I miss about the private sector; your salary could get adjusted anytime."
