A really imaginative boss would continue his dire prediction to cosmic proportions:
“… and if I give you a raise, you might afford sending your son to MIT, where he’ll study physics … and develop advanced fusion bombs that make nano black holes that devour the Earth and disrupt the orbits of the gas planets … that then fall into the Sun, causing it to go nova … making a chain reaction of supernovae that spin the Milky Way to crash into Andromeda …”
The poor lady would thus be so distraught she would beg the boss to give her a cut in pay!
