Shocking is best used when you really expected another outcome. "I was shocked/ It was terrible to hear that a company of such long standing repute was recently caught stealing clients from its rival."
"It's horrendous that we have to put up with such low wages for such hard work."
"I was shocked by the lack of governmental support we received after the hurricane." Thanks
