Irrelevant - it’s about what your market rate is. If you are currently getting 100, and the best offer you can get in the market today is 90, in theory, you should get a pay cut of 10. So if they give you zero increase, are you going to quit the 100 and go take the 90?

That’s a fair argument…

I don’t think there’s a “being okay” with what you receive… it’s whatever you receive… if they say you’re receiving 3%… are you going to say “it’s 5% or nothing”?… no, you’ll take the 3% and do whatever it is you decide to do… live with it or depart…
But in the spirit of transparency, I only draw a salary because of my managerial duties… and it’s based on how my team performs… this year it’s 5% (~$9,500)… but that makes up ~18% of my total compensation, the rest is tied to my individual revenue and my associated grid rate, which should be ~30% next year, if the market holds steady and I don’t onboard any assets…
It is situational. If I am desperate to leave, my numbers aren’t very strong. If I’m happy and just window shopping, those percentages are significantly higher.

It is never okey what we receive. We always get maximum 3-5% every year which is never enough
that’s human nature, it’s never going to be enough no matter what
I received 3% merit raise this year and although still disappointing, I’m much happier with it than the measly 1% I’ve gotten the last 2 years
