And if you accept the raise you have just proven you are not loyal and will be first up when cutbacks occur. This is terrible advice

  Yes, this. I've seen it happen on several occasions. Also: Let's say you use this tactic to strongarm the current employer into giving you a raise. But that won't make you happy. You looked for a different job because this one did not fulfill you -- and most of the time, the dissatisfaction is not money related. If you aren't happy with the current gig, leave. If you like your job but feel you deserve more money, help the current employer recognize that and respond to it.

    If you don't get more money and then don't leave then the employer has no incentive to give you more money. Wanting more money is by definition disloyal.

      exactly. loyalty in employer’s eyes is to work as much as possible for as little as possible and not leave. if you require more from employer it can be interpreted as disloyalty. on yhe other hand, when employer fires employee, it’s just business.

  No one talented and smart is loyal by that definition. If you get a raise, you have insurance against cutbacks, and the confidence to know you can get another job.
