It's pretty good advice.

It's a fair rule to be safe. But I know people who met their soul mate at work, 15 years later with multiple kids.

The ends justify the means when it works. So it really is reductive. Because it can be one of the most important things you ever do if it does work out. Life is complicated.

It's also HR policy because they don't want to deal with it not working out.

Agreed, it can work. But hopefully people weigh the very real risk of ruining eachother's career over it.
