My Time at Google and After

Why do companies always strongly recommend against these kinds of relationships, instead of outright banning them and having repercussions if the rules are violated? It seems like it would save so much hassle and effort to have a zero tolerance policy.

I understand people drink and things happen. I don't really care. Adults should be expected to exhibit self control.

Come work with us but if you fancy someone then prepare to upend your work just to see if that relationship is worth pursuing.

I don't think I want any company to dictate what way my love life unfolds.

"Fancying" someone doesn't oblige you to pursue a relationship with them any more than fancying some cake obliges you to eat it.

After reading your comment, I'm beginning to wonder.
