If someone in a relationship goes to their corporate HR manager for relationship assistance, I don't think your assumption is reasonable at all!

If they were a marriage counselor, or a close friend, sure, but somehow I think nobody willing to salvage a personal relationship is going to bring it to their office's attention for assistance...

Oh, that depends on framing. In some situations employees are asked explicitly to approach HR at the emergence of a relationship in order to prevent conflict of interest.

That would indicate the presence of some kind of HR policy. Something that appears to be lacking in this case.

frequent practice back in USSR. To the HR of the factory/institution, to the local Party committee, etc... :)

Not sure why you got downvoted: I think your anecdote is pretty interesting to contrast cultural differences! :)
