Get nothing wrong

People are afraid to make mistakes -- to leave something out, or to put something in that shouldn't be there -- and so they consult detailed processes guidelines, check every decision with their peers, etc.

Which means that they get nothing wrong: they don't introduce a bug, and so they won't be fired. But you'd never want to go to a party planned by someone like that. Sure, there are enough cups for everyone, but that's just about the only thing you can say.

Or to say it another way, "don't get fired today"
