Is it really? If someone's bouncing between jobs, doing a terrible job at each of them, why would their salary history be likely to reflect it? A given company might fire them, but lowering someone's pay to indicate poor performance is not common.
> Just try hiring a minimum wage worker as CEO for your next company, and see how well that works out.
That has nothing to do with what they were paid and everything to do with their experience. No one's discussing not talking about experience.
- WalterBright 5y agoWhen you work for a company, do you never see a correlation between what people are paid and what they contribute? Really? As for me, I've gone to the boss and said my work XXX was valuable to the company, so I want a raise, and I'd get it. If I hadn't done XXX would I have gotten the raise? Of course not. (Of course, government and union jobs are different, where your pay is based on seniority, your degree, and job category.)
