When I hear an employee is slacking off:
"What?! Taking time off again? How many times this month? I pay him a whole month's wages, and he doesn't work for half of it?! Where else can you find a deal like that? Tell him not to ask for time off next time. He can just quit instead!"
When I meet the slacking employee:
"I mean, everyone who works for a living must have their own difficulties. We should be more understanding and considerate! We shouldn't act like heartless capitalists! Tell the new employee that if something comes up, he can go ahead and take time off."
"..."
"Oh, right. Send me that employee's contact information, too. From now on, he can contact me directly when he needs time off."
One day in the future:
The boss, who has been thoroughly used and discarded by the unscrupulous Public Security officer:
A restrained expression, a dim room, a few scattered sounds, then a sudden, piercing shriek:
"Damn you! Just you wait! I'm going to fire you!"
