1. They don't know what people are expecting. 2. They don't want to underbid or overbid for you.
If I were an HR person I would want a pay history too, but as a non-HR person it seems pretty unfair, and I've decided not to apply to jobs because they requested one. All that should matter is, do they want you or not? If they don't, oh well. If they do and they can't meet your demands, they find somebody else. If they do and they really bump your pay, there are high expectations that you'd better meet or you'll be out. That's why a 6-week trial period's always a good idea for new employees - that way either party can make the choice to walk away without penalty or (hopefully) hard feelings. On 8/16/07, Phillip M.
