Just commented on a company I worked at like that!

President stopped by my office when I was the new (only) IT guy:

"You might make mistakes... OK, you're going to make mistakes. Don't try to lie, prevaricate, dodge blame or pass it onto someone else. That's about the only way to get fired around here. Come to me, tell me exactly what happened and we'll fix it and find a way to never let it happen again."

And that's how it really was. Came up with some slick IT solutions to block people from making mistakes, all while not doing the heavy-handed, restrictive IT bullshit.
