There are many employees, at vary levels, who had to take pay cuts because of the ongoing pandemic.
A question I have received several times has been whether their future salaries will be impacted (lowered) because of this.
The answer is no.
The reason is simple: Your current or past salary is private information and does not need to, and should not, be shared with anyone at a prospective company, including external recruiters.
When stating your desired salary, do the research for the market level and provide a range to get the conversation started.
All that matters is matching up your desired base salary with what the company is willing to pay. If those numbers are far apart, the negotiation process will begin.
Your current or past salary is never a variable in these discussions.

I am interested in a job just for the summer with compensation. I am a fast learner, I will be out of school for the summer starting June, 2017. Will travel, but not too far, Chicago, but some suburbs.
The only disagreement was they would not let me return back to work on a modify duty or light duty release from my Dr. when I did get released to full duty I was to work Hourly only and only daytime . Before I had my accident I was working day shift paid by the hour and after 5 Pm I got 35% commission I made more at night than hourly So It came down to I could return to work part time days only and no commission It was a major cut in pay. The owner acted like I was doing something shady he almost told me in so many words ! any Time I towed a friend I wrote a invoice stayed closer to town when I worked so I would not use up gas back and forth.I was so straight with the company I could have ripped them off totally big time. But I liked the owner he is good people NORMALLY and I would never jeopardize losing my job when I like working some place and I am really funny about being accused of something I did not do. So I quit
So - I applied for a job for Gateway Management through Zip Recruiter. It was a customer service position. I get an e-mail for an interview - the email was from a Sheri at Zeal Management requesting an interview - signed by Catherine - but from the listing for Gateway Management - red flag #1. Zeal Management then called me to schedule an interview, which I accepted, and then started investigating the company. It doesn't exist. Called the company who posted the ad - was assured it was a real company, and a good job - but refused to give much information. Assured me it was a real opportunity despite the building where the interviews were being held had a FOR LEASE sign on it. Go to the interview (they were actually there) and I am told there are TWO positions - a Manager position at 30K a year, and a Customer Service position at $8/hr (half of what I made at my last job before I was laid off). They will only be 2 people to run the office. Still no information on the company other than the compensation. Was told we'd be called by 3 pm if we made it for the second interview. I was interviewed at the same time as another woman. My interview lasted exactly 7 minutes before she sent me on my way. Surprised to get a second call that afternoon and was told to come in today at noon for my second interview. I figured my management experience and office skills had moved me to the front of the pack.
Go in today for my second interview to discover a total of NINE people for this second interview. Turned out to be a presentation about the manager position, the hours, the pay, the benefits, etc. Mentioned the parent company - Scentura Creations. Told about training 6-8 weeks - $200-400/week. Red flag #2. All nine of us were hired at the end of the presentation. Red flag #3.
So - I am the last one left and she asked us all the same questions. I told her I had a few for her myself. I asked her what the training involved, and told her not even her local office would confirm anything I asked them. She tried to evade the question, and I told her I deserved an answer because I was getting red flags from the first time they contacted me. She finally confessed you would spend the training period selling the perfumes. Told her the money was unacceptable for my and that I was not interested in selling anything like that because I specifically told the gentleman I talked to that I was NOT interested in anything that involved door to door sales, approaching complete strangers, or working parking lots. He assured me it was nothing like that but was a B2B job, but refused to say how they marketed - catalog, internet, mailing - and I asked. I then asked once the training was completed, did we run a retail store, etc? Was told no - we would be doing the same presentations she was doing over and over. At that point, I KNEW I'd been scammed and lied to. I politely informed her that I was probably older than everyone else in that room, including her, and I knew a pile of fertilizer when I smelled it. I also told her I was NOT interested as this was definitely not a good fit and I would be turning them into Zip Recruiter for a fraudulent job posting and a bait and switch interview process. I then walked out and I will never go back.
WHY do people pull this crap when you are desperate for a job? Almost everyone in that room except for me was under 30 and probably had little to no sales experience at all, and they all seemed to accept everything without question as they walked out. Also - be on the lookout for any company associated with Scentura Creations out of Atlanta. It's a purely commission sales job that makes you sell cheap knock-off cologne in parking lots for commission only, Then you have to dupe other people into doing the same thing. Check out their reviews on Indeed....almost nothing positive.
I heard about the job through Word of Mouth Jobs for Reno. I applied the same day and got hired the next. I started as a call taker. I really enjoyed interacting with the pubic. If you have sensitive ears, this is not the job for you. A lot of cussing going on. You start a little bit above minimum wage. Thrre are no raises or benefits. The dispatch office is micro managed by the human resources dept. Some cab drivers act like big babies but, most are enjoyable to work with. There are no set policies or procedures. It is a family run operation so, there is a lot of drama.
Don't do it!!! They do not pay time and a half. There are no taxes taken out!!!! And I worked anywhere from 60-97 hours a week!!! And only get paid twice a month!!!
To be honest I worked for Willowbrook and Cargill bought them out. Once Cargill took over they had us fill out apps and told us that they would be keeping us since we had been running all the machines and are familiar with the products and how they should be packaged. Cargill fired our plant manager and brought in another person. They also terminated all the contracts that we were currently working on (keeping very few). They brought in others who were working at the other plants that they shut down and had us train them. After they had very little training, we were laid off. We were told that if they brought us back within 6 months then we would be able to keep our seniority and all the benefits that went along with it. We were called back in 6 months and maybe 25% of those who were laid off came back. We came back to pure hell. For about 3-6 months we would work 12 hours a day 7 days a week. They would hire foreign people who would be able to go back to their country for a month if they felt like it and the rest of us had to suffer working long hours without a day off. They never had interpreters for the foreign people who didn't know any English for things like safety meetings. At one point of time we had a foreign man cut part of his finger off on the job and was told to come back to work the next day or he wouldn't have a job. I know how illegal that is, but he didn't and because he didn't know any English they took advantage of that to keep their safety numbers up. Those of us who were laid off and came back at one point in time had to fight for what we were promised, because unlike what Cargill said at one point in time they would not allow us to keep our seniority or have the amount of vacation days that came along with it. Often machine operators as well as other employees were told it's okay to lie on their paperwork and if it was caught they would reprimand the employee as if they lied on their own. There was a lot of politics and if you were not in "the cool" crowd you just didn't fit in. I often witnessed the people in power talk behind the backs of the employees that didn't fit in. There were no bonuses to be had, no incentives, maybe a small cost of living raise a year (we only got it one year out of 5 year), and never once could the hire up people ever come out on the production floor to tell anyone "good job". I will never go back to this job in a million years. I was part of the "cool club" and that's why I lasted for so long. I did get promoted (but they didn't give me the 2 dollar raise like they posted since they said I was already making about the same as someone who was already doing that job, so I got a 50 cent raise). On paper Cargill seems to look so good being the "largest employee owned business" in the world. You are told that as an employee you get shares of their stock and if you leave the company they will buy you out (as far as I am aware nobody got that). They shut the doors to the plant that I was working at and didn't tell any of the employees till about a month prior. All of this could just have been at the plant I worked at and others may be different. But I can say that I have met others who have worked for Cargill before since I've worked there. These people never worked at the plant I did or even in the same state and they honestly don't think any better about the company than I do.
A fantastic company to work for. Competitive pay, great benefits and fantastic management. I would work there again.
