“View Once Salary”: Woman Laughs at Broke Colleague After Payday

• A young woman posted a TikTok video of herself bursting into laughter after revealing her colleague's bank balance
• The humoured woman claimed her workmate was left with R12 in their bank account after payday
• Social media users took to the comment section with laughter, while some felt they could relate

Payday is often a mix of emotions - a sense of relief as the bank balance grows, quickly followed by the sting of watching it dwindle to cover bills and obligations.

For one woman, the irony of the situation hit harder than expected. She couldn't help but laugh when one of her colleagues found themselves broke almost immediately after getting their money.

Comically sad salary moments

For many South Africans, as payday draws closer, excitement fills the air, or, in one man's case, music gets blasted in the workplace to show the joy the 25th brings.

A TikTok user named Hope (@hope_maq) took a different approach and responded with laughter after sharing that her workmate was left with R12 after payday.
