Yes. Firstly, I understand all the reasons why sharing salary information gives more power to employees. However, as someone living in a third world country with serious crime problems, sharing my salary makes me more of a target than if it were kept secret. I understand this may not be the case everywhere, but it is a reality of the part of the world I live in.

It might also open you up to various forms of discrimination, if your salary is "too high" or "too low" for some people's liking.

I think pay transparency within a single company is probably a good thing, though.
