Anyone get underwhelming salary raises this year? I did and am trying to figure out the best way to ask for a better adjustment.

You probably won't have much luck bringing it up after the fact. Usually they have a certain $$ allocated in a pool for raises and they divide it up between everyone at various percentages.
You're better off bringing it to the attention of your boss before raise time that you think you're underpaid so that they can plan for a higher raise for you (at the expense of someone else)
Well everyone is going to think they got a underwhelming. I got 2% raise and think I should have gotten more.
4% initially then increased to 22% but that's because I had an offer from another company.
whoa, 22%, that's awesome, congrats! Although you know what they say, if you had to force their hand to give you a larger raise by "threatening to leave" they're already looking for a replacement for you in the meantime blah blah blah (doesn't apply to all situations).
8% for me.
3% raise and I get back a furlough day which amounts to 5%.
8% for me...did not expect it.
