1. The Reality for Indonesian Employees

• The average monthly salary for sales staff in Indonesia ranges between Rp 4–8 million.

• Business travel costs (flight + hotel + food) often reach Rp 2–4 million per trip.

• Salespeople must front these costs, which locks up up to 50% of their income until reimbursed.

• Delayed reimbursements (1–4 weeks) affect their rent, bills, and family expenses.

2. Hidden Emotional & Financial Stress

• Some even borrow money or use high-interest paylater services

• Creates silent resentment toward HR or finance teams
