You boss being generous does not have to mean him being lax.

Laxity and lack of seriousness are bad for the company. All bad bosses I had were like that.

The moral of the story is you're supposed to be generous to your employees by reflex without having to wait for excess labor difficulties or costs to become quantifiable.

Pinpointed savings will always be limited and never correlate very well with the unlimited advantage of a more motivated staff after all.
