It could coincide with one of Employee 2's habits or routines before they leave their desk. For example, I used to have a cheap fan on my desk and whenever I changed the speed or turned it off, it caused all of the Dell monitors nearby to go blank for a few seconds before turning back on and readjusting to the resolution of my laptop. I usually turned my fan off whenever I expected to be away from my desk for more than a few minutes.

It could be software too: Employee 2 launches a build before going on a break, or a GPU-intensive screensaver that starts up. That would explain the ~50% occurrence.
