crushed expectations

I'm so sad. 

The bonus that I'd been anticipated is much lower than what I got last year. I had this naive expectation that the bonus would be higher this year, because goddamnit, I worked hard and I did more than my fair share. The depressing fact is, my performance review did improve... but goddamn Shell as a whole did not. In fact, this well known MNC did so badly, the business performance is the lowest in the decade. 

*cries*

Sigh.
