Chronology of Cleopatra's Scandal, Former JKT48 Member Who Opens a New Domestic Helper Job - Employee Salary Withheld and Considered Slavery by Netizens

Kapanlagi.com - Cleopatra JKT48 or Cleo JKT48 recently went viral because of one of her posts on Facebook. The post contains her search for a domestic helper who can also take care of her children.

However, unlike regular job postings, Cleo's posting suddenly went viral and became the talk of the town among netizens. One of the reasons is because Cleo wrote that the employees' salaries will be withheld for 3 months.

"Salaries will be withheld for 3 months, and in the 4th month, all will be paid (the reason for the withholding is so that the employees can try working for me for 3 months, and if within that time they feel unable to continue, they can request to quit, not just after a week)," Cleo wrote on her Facebook account.

"Dear Mbak Cleopatra, a salary of 1.7 million per month with a bunch of work + withholding 3 months' salary, you are being unjust!!!!

"The payment is not much considering the hard work, I'd rather cry," wrote @nurultryani.

After @nurultryani's tweet suddenly went viral, she revealed that she was contacted by Cleo JKT48. In their conversation, @nurultryani mentioned that they discussed Cleo JKT48's post about withholding employees' salaries for three months, with a salary of only 1.7 million.

According to the conversation between @nurultryani and CleoJKT48, Cleo explained that her decision to withhold employees' salaries for three months was purely to assess whether the said employee could withstand working with her. @nurultryani also mentioned that the salary of only 1.7 million does not include other benefits and bonuses.

Cleo's reason for withholding employees' salaries is because she had previously worked with an employee who only lasted for a week.

"Maybe, just maybe, the reason why Cleo is withholding the employee's salary for 3 months is because she might have had a bad experience with an employee who quit after a week. I also get annoyed if there are employees like that. But it doesn't mean that withholding their salary is the solution, because employees also have families to support," wrote @nurultryani.
