Absolutely do not lie unless you want the offer rescinded. A lot of companies will ask for exactly that after the offer is accepted and it is a perfectly reason

- paulcole 8y agoWho’s going to tell them what I used to earn? My previous employer? I never give HR as a reference, only other employees/managers.
- freedomben 8y agoYou can also be terminated immediately, forfeiting any protection of law (wrongful termination, etc) for lying or misrepresenting yourself. I've never heard of this happening personally, but I've signed a few waivers acknowledging that I have been informed of this (CYA at its finest). I heard of one case where the dude said his GPA was way higher than it really was, and his employer found out and canned him.
- stale2002 8y agoThis basically never happens. There is no way for your employer to verify this information. And even if they DID, do this, 6 months later, if they fire you then they just lost that 3 months of training time that they spent on you. Sure, they might do it anyway if they are spiteful and idiotic. But most of the time Ive learned that businesses don't like wasting money. And the immoral people in this situation is the COMPANY, for engaging in this shady negotiation practice. They deserve anything that happens to them if they engage in this behavior.
