1% Annual Raise

I started with a new company back in the summer and was just briefed by my manager on the annual bonus/pay increase. As expected, my bonus payment was prorated for the amount of time I was with the company (115/365 days). What I wasn't expecting was the annual raise to also be prorated. 1%. My manager goes on to say “I know this is kind of low, but if you do some math based off of your time with the company you can see what you would typically get with us” That's about a 3% raise. Not bad/not great Money is money, so I'm not truly complaining. This is my first time working for a large corporation and I just found this to be a good example of corporate penny pinching
