I’m foreign and have hired a team of South Africans. Most are are young, 1-3 years out of school, and have few financial responsibilities. Not married, no kids, living with family, paid off student car, etc. I like to think I’m paying them well. The lowest paid employee makes over 20K/month. The highest is sitting around 40K.
These guys are broke always and are constantly complaining about their wages. Their car breaks down, they can’t fix it. Where is the money going? It truly doesn’t add up to me.
It makes it really difficult for me to determine appropriate wages here.
