Exactly how to express disappointment or frustration with your boss

There are times when it’s necessary to bring up feelings of frustration. But how you do it can make all the difference.

Bobby sat at his desk, rewriting the same email to his manager over and over. His boss had just announced a major reorganization without acknowledging how it would impact several critical projects Bobby led. Bobby knew he needed to address the issue, but he didn’t want to seem difficult or negative. But staying silent didn’t feel right either.

The Last of Us Season 2, episode 1 adds a new character who wasnt in the game

The Last of Us Season 1 expanded the world of Naughty Dog's beloved game, and the second season is no different.

With the return of the HBO series, Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann send you right back to the settlement of Jackson, Wyoming, where we left Ellie (Bella Ramsay) and Joel (Pedro Pascal) on the edge of town after everything that happened in Salt Lake City.

In Season 2, Ellie and Joel have been reunited with family since then, namely Joel's brother Tommy (Gabriel Luna) and his wife...

The Last of Us Season 2, episode 1 introduces one of the games most terrifying villains

If you survived The Last of Us Season 1 and the sheer terror of all the Clickers, Bloaters, and cannibals, we've got some grim news: You're not out of the woods in Season 2.

The second season of Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann's HBO adaptation amps up the threat level for Ellie (Bella Ramsey), Joel (Pedro Pascal), and the residents of Jackson, Wyoming, from the very first episode, with the arrival of one of the scariest types of Infected in The Last of Us Part II game.

The Last of Us Season 2, episode 1: Who is Abby?

The Last of Us is back, and there's a new player in town.

Although Season 2 spends most of its first episode five years on from the events of the Season 1 finale, the opening scene takes place in its direct aftermath. Here we're introduced to a group of new characters, the de facto leader of which is a woman named Abby (Kaitlyn Dever).

But what do we know about this new character so far, and how she connects to the story? Let's dive in.

The Last of Us Season 2, episode 1: Why Curtis and Viper is important

The Last of Us Season 2 hits us hard with the Easter eggs in the very first episode, and one of them is a particularly moving mention.

In episode 1, when Ellie (Bella Ramsey) and Dina (Isabela Merced) are getting ready for their afternoon patrol, Dina remarks on Ellie's heavily armed get-up. "Look at you with all that hardware; you look like Curtis and Viper," she says. "You know, those movies Joel likes?"

When they turn up to the start of patrol, Jesse (Young Mazino) makes a similar comment...

The Last of Us Season 2, episode 1: Ellies bedroom is filled with Easter eggs

The Last of Us is a fiend for an Easter egg. The first season of Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann's adaptation absolutely heaved with hidden references to Naughty Dog's The Last of Us games, and the second season has us continuing the tradition of watching this show with our finger on the pause button.

In Season 2, episode 1, the set dressing of Ellie's (Bella Ramsey) room in Jackson, in the garage behind her and Joel's house, is such a pristine ode to her room in The Last of Us Part II I...

The Last of Us Season 2 perfectly recreates Ellie and Dinas dance scene

One of the most iconic and butterfly-inducing scenes (and my personal favourite) in The Last of Us games comes in the sequel, in which Ellie and Dina dance together and kiss at the town of Jackson's big shindig.

It's the scene that led The Last of Us Part II's first gameplay footage shown at E3 2018, and to me, it was a slam dunk to watch our kick-ass protagonist Ellie confirmed as a lesbian in a AAA game (though Ellie was really first confirmed as canonically gay in 2014's The Last of Us DLC...
