Lady wants a monthly salary above GH¢2k

While one party is elated at having secured employment, even though it is not the ideal opportunity, YEN.com.gh earlier reported that a Ghanaian lady surprised many of her country people when she made it explicitly clear that she would not take a job that paid her GH¢2,000 each month.

Taking to her official X handle, the lady further stated that even in the unlikely event she took the job, she would not perform at her peak over disillusionment with what she described as a meagre salary.

Netizens who saw the post shared varied opinions on the matter.
