Typical raise

[durron597]

So we just got evaluations in (they occur every November in my company) and my raise was 5.45%. I work a typical 9-5 computer related job in an office. My boss basically called me in and gave me a number, I said thank you and left.

1) I thought about asking if this number was standard or performance based but decided I didn't really want to go there.

2) Where is a 5.45% raise in the relative scheme of things? Did I get shafted, or is this very good?

3) My company used to give options but they don't anymore for tax reasons. At the last company meeting they said they were discussing other things like bonuses, etc. Was this the meeting where I would find out if I was getting anything, in a typical company?

Sorry for the noobish questions but I'm only 22 and this is my first post-college real job.

Edit: I should also add that I only started working here in February.
