Recently, an Instagram account is trying to bridge this knowledge and income gap by helping employees get a rough idea of how much their peers of similar experience and qualifications earn.
According to their bio, the Malaysian Pay Gap is advocating pay transparency and better salary for all in Malaysia, regardless of age, gender, and ethnicity.
To be featured, users have to provide information according to this brief template:
– Their job and designation/position
– Age, race, and gender
– How many years into the job
– Job location
– Academic qualifications
– Current salary
– Any thoughts, messages, and insights they wish to share
The page assures that direct messages are deleted every day for anonymity and security.
Here are a few submissions they have received so far:
Many social media users have expressed appreciation for the initiative, with Twitter and Reddit users calling for wage transparency to be the new normal.
Personal finance blogger Suraya Zainudin has also encouraged Malaysians to take a look at the page.
“Scroll through and if you realise you’re underpaid, this is your sign to find better opportunities,” she tweeted.
