We'll float your boat
Asta in cazul in care doresti slang. Pentru ca raspunsul colegie nu este slang.

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

Note from 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 ! |

: please read the context: spus de şef subordonatului chiar într-un mediu academic. Slang is not used in these circumstances

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.

: 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 ...

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)

: 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

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
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
