"So will you pay them 7 salaries or just 1?"
Free Malaysia Today took to X yesterday, to share an advert for a job opening at their company. Job position reads 'Social Media Executive'.
However, upon looking at the responsibilities, Malaysians were unhappy as it did not just cover one main job scope but up to 3 different ones.
We're on the hunt for a visionary Social Media Executive to join our team.

Now, many may be puzzled, thinking this is entirely normal.
And if you are in this position, then you too my friend, are a victim!
Further elaborated by X user, @BeeBalan; "you aren't looking for a social media executive, you are looking for an entire art department."
FMT, u seem confused. U arent looking for a social media executive ur looking for:

1. social media manager
2. marketing exec
3. graphic designer
4. video editor
5. scriptwriter
6. data analyst
7. copywriter
i.e. an entire art dept. So will u pay them 7 salaries or just 1? https://t.co/Dme66eL0fI
Some Malaysians even responded to the portal saying "ni bukan iklan jawatan kosong, tapi jabatan kosong."
Here are some other reactions as well:
This is the kind of employer that will go and complain "orang muda tak nak buat kerja sekarang semua nak senang jeh" sebab orang muda dah tak bodo macam dulu kot https://t.co/Ycng55kXGd

Crazy. The responsibilities and requirements are 4-5 people punya workloads.

This is not executive work. This is more like Project Manager teamwork consist of social media manager, graphic design, editor, analyst, ect.
Fast track to burnout and hating life https://t.co/XsVSg9ZWAE

Without disclosing the salary for said job advert, netizens are urging Malaysians to NOT apply for the position.
Thoughts?
