At one point, Asda advertised a store assistant position in Swansea which paid an unbelievable £28,163 an hour - a salary that many of us could only dream of! The incredible offer was posted on job search website Indeed on April 12th. This would mean an annual salary of £58,579,040 for the lucky employee. Similar ridiculously high wages were advertised in other stores, with £26,291 an hour in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire and £22,880 an hour being offered in Bristol.

Fortunately, the salary was quickly corrected to a more reasonable and realistic amount of £13.54 an hour. Customers ridiculed Asda for the mistake, but the supermarket giant has declined to comment and confirmed the typo had been amended.

While Asda’s wage mistake was a cause for amusement, it is a stark reminder of how quickly one’s salary can take a huge dive. Last year, a man was paid £150,000 for a month’s work instead of the usual £450 – only to then disappear without giving the money back. A positive takeaway from this story is that it highlights the importance of double-checking all financial information before it is officially accepted.
