  Illegal and unethical thought processes: * Do I think this employee has a chronic illness that will them have future absences? * Is this employee a woman expecting to have more kids, and will that cause future absences? * Is this employee visiting family out of state? If so, they might want to move to that state in the future. (Acceptable vacation locations include Disneyland, Paris, and anywhere with beaches.) Illegal and unethical response: If the answer to any of the above is "yes", then slightly rank them lower than coworkers, avoid giving them important projects, and be on the lookout for unrelated reasons to fire them.

    How could a vacation imply anything about chronic illnesses or future pregnancies? I mean, of course there's a chance something might be mentioned as an aside, but it seems very unlikely. Visiting family much more often than not will just be visiting family. The tiny possibility that it might mean something doesn't seem worth the Q&A time. Why would anyone want to fire an employee who might soon leave off their own accord?
