I was thinking the same thing.  Communication between management and
worker must be pretty strained if you have that confrontational
attitude.  Was it just the one person that was saying don't track the
issue, or does most of the team feel the same way?

Watching out for each other is a good thing, until it becomes a bad
thing.  As with anything it can be abused and make you look bad if the
individual in question continues to miss important things during the
development process.
