Sly-profiling

The art of having noticeably nicer stuff than your subordinates so that they feel inferior to you. Additionally, the sly-profiler also needs to have stuff that is just slightly less nice than the boss' so that they don't feel threatened but can see that you mean business.

Employee 1: Did you see his new Rolex?

Employee 2: Yeah, He's just sly-profiling because he's tired of being a VP and we are looking for a new C.O.O
Employee 1: Man, we'll never make that much.
