“I do not agree with this. A potential employer needs all the info it can get to avoid hiring a turkey:”

So, conversely, a candidate needs to know they are not signing on with a turkey, so the salaries of all similar employees of that company need to be known by the candidate.

How does the candidate know if they are getting a turkey of an offer that can hurt them by any future employers using the same unethical tactics as using salary as a basis of worth if they don’t know the salaries of the others?

You can ask but you are in no position to demand, unlike an employer.

Most employers do post the expected starting salary for an open position. Further, in case you haven't heard, there is this internet thing, where such searches as "average starting salary for a _____" are rather common. SMH

This was the quote I was responding to in 57...

Further, when you do an internet search (or God forbid actual research by calling those in that line of work), the results NEVER come up as "men get X, women get Y". It is EQUAL EXPECTED STARTING SALARY REGARDLESS OF GENDER!!!! YAY!!

Isn't it magical how the problem is already resolved without morons begging government to control the situation?
