In response to "I don't see the downside of sticking around while continuing to look -- nm" by Roger More

The downside is if I make this stink and get the raise, and then leave, I look like an asshat, and hurt my chances for future contracts.

The IT community in Calgary is relatively small. If I get a new job and leave with notice, no big deal, lots of people do it. If I make a stink over something and they give me a raise, then I leave, it looks terrible on me and will likely make that recruiter think twice before ever recommending me again.
