Matter of fact, when you do get a raise you need to ask yourself if it’s truly a raise. Inflation decreases the purchasing power of your salary, so if you get a raise you might be getting what was your initial salary.
You did a fantastic job, blew all your metrics out of the park. You were herr 6/7 days a week for the whole year and did the work of 3 people. We couldnt be more proud of you. So I went to bat for you, really fought like hell, and managed to get your raise increased from 3% to 5&!!!

Inflation was 8+%
In Belgium we have mandatory wage increases to combat inflation.
Companies aren’t allowed to call them raises because that isn’t what they are.
Last year after Covid, we had an increase of 11-12%. Which was very nice.
Honestly this should be the norm everywhere.
