For once I'm mostly happy with lazy company management.

At least anything significant like that! Raises for me have been typically .25 cents an hour or less increase, very infrequently.

Depends on your career. I get 1.2-2% raise almost every year.

Rechecked the info and it was actually 11 426,84 Euros - taxes (how much not known yet).
Funny thing was that highest amounts were supposed to be around 10500...

That is not a "US" thing. I've worked many jobs in several different industries, and in my professional career (post college), I've never gone more than a year without at least a cost of living increase. This year has been the one and only exception. While increases were in the original budget, they were held off to help offset our massive revenue drop caused by COVID. However our new budget currently has a double increase set for next year to make up for it.
While I acknowledge that my situation will not be the same for all, it's simply untrue to say that the US does not give annual raises.

Maybe if you have a "career", but I've only had "jobs". Retail, warehouses and call centers only.
