Not so much throwing you under a bus
as siting your desk in heavy traffic.
Eventual outcome on either route could be the same in that, the raise is a short term stopgap, or that the value you add is so critical, your employer will want to find someway of ameliorating the risk.
The thing is, either way you are going to look like a mercenary, given most businesses both expect and demand loyalty in return for merely employing us, that's not a good rep to have.
Not fair I know, but we didn't make the world, we just work in it.
I've never seen a manager censured for cutting a cost, they are so short term they'll forget who raised them in the first place. After all screwing up and causing extra cost, is never a problem as long as you've left before the figures come out....
