<prompt> Human: TX I know they just want to verify that I am employed here, but I did not want them to contact my current employer and then find out i was looking for a new job. What if the offer is too low and I didnt take the new job, then my boss will know I am looking. Should I cross outcensor my income? I am afraid they will base their offer on what I am currently making.  <response>: I provided my W2 with my SSN and income blacked out and said it was my policy not to disclose previous salary information. They said all they care about is verifying dates of employment and that was fine.
