I have used salary history to get raises though. My current job offered a rate that was less than my previous job, I showed them what I earned and they matched it + a small increment.

Congrats, however, that was after they already gave you an offer. What if you happened to be underpaid in your previous position? If you had shared your salary history before they made you an offer, they could have given you an offer that was less then they were willing to pay.

Yeah I realize most people are moving to get a raise, I'm trying to remind people that one day you'll be old and you'll be grateful to keep your rate.
