That's extremely frustrating to hear and seems VERY short-sighted by the company itself. If they already determined that person would be a good fit at $100k salary, it seems so silly to change their mind just because they learn about the candidates PREVIOUS salary.
Another reason not to disclose salary requirements, but also seems like a case of management myopia. Thanks for sharing :)
If the candidate lied about their previous salary, that would be a perfectly valid reason to drop them. Someone willing to lie to their employer for personal gain won't stop with the one lie.

Remove incentives to lie then. Don't blame people for doing something if there are incentives for doing so.
