a slangy connotation could be " we'll make you worth your while"

Notes to answerer
Asker: The formal environment is formal enough, but the human connotation would be as slangy as possible - to emphasize the vagueness of future promises and the power imbalance. Thank you everyone for the varied proposals !

agree  cristina48: :)
1 min
  -> Multumesc Cristina :)
neutral  Andreea Bostan: please read the context: spus de şef subordonatului chiar într-un mediu academic. Slang is not used in these circumstances
15 mins
  -> Well, i read the context, but given the fact thet the term is under the slang field, I assume the asker wants slang. I just gave the asker another opinion and I also stated it is just in case he wants the slang version.
agree  Maria-Letitia Chiculita (X): De acord cu menţiunea făcută de tine, Valentina !

2 hrs
  -> Thanks!
agree  Irina-Maria Foray: "we'll make you worth your while" :)
4 hrs
  -> Multumesc
neutral  mihaela.: Nope! Idiomul complet este "whatever floats your boat", are un sens un pic ironic si este o constatare care NU IMPLICA actiune din partea celui care foloseste expresia. Do you like it? Really? Oh, well ... whatever floats your boat ...
8 hrs
  -> da expresia asa este, si inseamna "whatever makes you happy". ma gandeam ca chiar daca este putin trasa de par se potriveste si este folosita oricum (mai rar)
disagree  Anca Nitu: wrong slang, check the meaning of "whatever floats your boat " on the internet before posting , it means "whatever makes you tick" and has nothing to do with the term in question
10 hrs
  -> it means whatever makes you happy, i guess the tick part you got it from the internet, i got the happy part form natives. and i also noticed that you don't read everything before starting to trow dirt in people's eyes

I'll give you my umbrella should it rain on your parade


Explanation:
traducerea de mai sus, in slang, tine cont de comentariul acesta: "The formal environment is formal enough, but the human connotation would be as slangy as possible - to emphasize the vagueness of future promises and the power imbalance. "

rain on one's parade = spoiling one's pleasure
Implicatia este evidenta: daca o fi sa fie (should) o sa fac si eu un efort ... adica o sa ma revansez, dar fara deadline, fara promisiune ferma, fara un obiectiv clar
