So.... this is interesting. The answer is if they are strict authoritarians and go by the book, yes. There is no leeway. If they are flexible and are open to interpretation and intent then no... but then that leaves them open to risk.

Because of that most companies over time become very strict and unforgiving.

The trope that says "asking for rules to be enforced in a sane and human manner leads to authoritarianism" is a pretty recognizable form of bullshit.
