That's not really an excuse. A developer might be asked to implement Facebook tracking code, but a conscientious developer will ensure the browser's "Do Not Track" setting is respected.

It's as simple as:

    if (!navigator.doNotTrack) { // Tracking code }

It's not this simple when managements explicitly asks you not to do this, and takes it as sabotage if you still do it.
Unfortunately enabling Do Not Track just makes you more easily trackable.
