Today was very disappointing. I expected to receive a certain amount of money and I felt sad after being informed that my "Perfect Attendance Incentive" was gone for being a few minutes late only (It was inside 10 minutes before my shift). I was really looking forward to it because I already had plans. Have you ever felt very disappointed?

Thats seems rearly unfair if you was 10 minutes late for work why couldnt they let you stay back 10 minutes to make it up and keep your perfect attendance it sounds like there just trying to save money.

actually the worst part is I'm not even 10 minutes late. I think it was around 2 mins and I suffered. Did you experience this kind of situation before? Yes I think they are saving some money. haha

Perfect attendance means you were never absent or late. Even if it is only one or two minutes late,it is still considered late. It is really disappointing if you were expecting something and it does not work out.Just do your best next time so you will receive your incentive.

It was just disappointing because I was expecting something and the case is not that very hard for them to consider. There was a lot more to it than what you know but I don't have to elaborate more on it. I feel alright now. Thanks for the response anyway. :)

Yes many of them throughout my life. Disappointment is just something that sadly seems to be an element that is all too common, that crops up time and time again right throughout my life. I do wish that disappointment would occur a bit less, far less, but really it does put into perspective a lot of the times where I just feel good. Still in the end, disappointment cropped up. There was sometimes where my expectations were boosted to the highest heights. Which might have been a mistake to have expectations that are just much too high. I think we concoct a lot of ideas right in our head, but obviously something will happen with the actual event. Something that causes the disappointment. There are times where I have been excited but my hopes were slightly dashed.

It is quite natural to feel such disappointments when you dream lose the things which you dreamed a lot. I had a lot of disappointments. I used to call most of my friends to wish birthday wishes. So one my birthday I thought that my best friends named Arjun will call me wish me the same but he did not do it due to some reasons. On that day I felt really disappointed.
