New York City bans employers from asking potential workers about past salary
Have a google for: &quot;can i lie to a employer about past salary&quot; - it really really messes with people - people feel super uncertain about how to approach this situation. Throwing any confidence they have during the negotiation out the window.<p>Even now I hesitate to write this as a million people will come out and say never lie - what if they found out.<p>More than banning. There needs to be acceptance that if someone asks you. You are totally free to make any damn number up that you like. Seriously. Its a sales situation. It should not be like your under oath on the stand. Which is how most people view it.
