While the unnamed man was patiently waiting his turn to receive his pay, one of his colleagues was heard hailing him in the background.
The young Ghanaian man appeared to have relocated to an Asian country from Ghana a few months ago and secured a job as a factory worker.
As his friend kept hailing him with accolades, he was captured in the video waving his credit card while smiling in anticipation for his first monthly salary.
"First pay, baba, first pay. Look at the queue, first pay. You sit home and spew nonsense while we are here taking money, money in the car," he said.
The long queue led to a waiting van, where an Asian man was seen doling out cash to each of the workers.

Unemployed lady relocates abroad
Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that a lady who relocated abroad for a better life took to social media to cry over her inability to secure a job.
The lady said she had applied for over 100 jobs since moving to Canada to seek greener pastures, but her efforts were unsuccessful so far.
This sad ordeal, she said, got her questioning if she was a resident of the North American country like everyone else who had secured jobs.
