Salary not being revealed

Mr Jack said:
Only if you think of a salary as the fair amount of pay for a job. But that's not how companies (mostly) set salaries: salaries are set at the value which allows them to recruit the candidate and kept at a level where staff don't actively leave because of low pay. Companies base their offers on previous salaries because they believe (correctly) that most people are going to be happy with a salary that is higher than their current salary and unhappy with a salary that is lower.

But previous salary is for a specific job. New salary is for a totally new and different role.

If a bin man became a doctor you can't give uplift from starting bin man wage as the doctor role is different level of responsibility

That's why most people find it BS. The salary should be based on what you're expected to be doing and what the rate is for that particular role adjusted to your experience.

Companies that do that are just trying to pay you the least amount because they know you'll take it as you're in a weaker position. Taking an inverse view of what D.P said, it's basically the company not valuing your skills and experience and using your current position to underpay you.

By you playing into it, you allow them to continue this stupid game, but I don't blame them if they do, as some people have an even worse situation so financially they'll still take it even if it's a ridiculous reason.

Exactly pay should reflect role.

They have said they will pay according to benchmark for this role too but that has not been revealed either
