Chrome adding itself to login items.

Since updating my MacOS to Ventura 13.0, every time I open Chrome, I get a System Settings notification that Chrome has been added to my login items.

The suggestions to remedy this problem involve removing Chrome from login items, but I am already logged in to my computer when this is happening: it's not that Chrome is opening itself at startup. It's that it's ADDING ITSELF to the startup menu every time I open Chrome.

I immediately remove it from the login items, but the next time I start Chrome, it adds itself to the login items.

How do I fix this? I have not found any settings in Chrome or in the Ventura 13.0 system settings that fix this.

Mac mini 2018 or later

I did find that the behavior stopped when I stopped logging in to Chrome using my work account. That gave permission for my employer to manage my device, and their settings are what was pushing Chrome to open on startup.
