Your relationship with management is always adversarial. They might put sugar and spice on it so you don't see it, but they are not your friend.
You sound like you've never been laid off.
Don't even have to be laid off to understand this. "You've asked for a 8% raise on the basis that you were promoted to a higher position last quarter and have been doing more work for the same pay, but we just can't swing 8% right now. But it's OK, we're all friends here. How about 4% instead?"
