Do you write “2Q” or “Q2” for second quarter?

I’m curious—what evidence are you seeing that men are experiencing reverse discrimination? In financial services, it still seems like most senior leadership positions are held by men. I’m at a conference and overheard a conversation at the next table.

Hi Everyone, I have been having trouble finding a new job (10 months and counting) as a Project Manager despite my extensive experience in the financial industry, I don't want to speculate on the reasons, but now I'm getting to the point of applying for jobs at Walmart or Costco so I can pay my bills more easily, I'm fine with this because work is work but I can't help but think that there may be other options for work that I'm just not considering, or not know about. Any thoughts? Thanks

I’m in the final stages with an incredible new firm, but they are demanding a reference from my current manager before making an official offer. If I ask my boss for a reference and the new gig falls through, it’s not gonna end well. How do you handle this without blowing up your current job situation?

Our VP mandated that all cameras must be on for every single internal Zoom call. No one is happy. We’re supposed to be hybrid now, but this feels like a passive-aggressive way to make sure we’re sitting rigidly at our desks in full business casual at home. Was never like this when we were fully remote. Is this a reasonable expectation for a modern workplace?

What are the first 5 things you should do when you get put on a PIP? Just learned about it this morning. I didn't see it coming. Planning on working on the resume later, but I'm spiraling a bit right now.

Q2. There is no other way lol
Q2 unless I also add the year (i.e., “2Q25”).
Same
"The quarter that falls between the first quarter and the fourth quarter, but is not the third quarter." (I'm a finance attorney who charges by the minute)
Q2. I don’t think I have ever seen 2Q before lol.
I hadn’t until this boss. And they’re the only one on the team of 13 who writes it that way lol
2Q is psychopathic behavior. Never seen that lol
I don’t disagree lol but it made me wonder how common the usage is
2Q. There is no other way lol
Q2 - This is the way.
whichever way the dingbat head of the dept likes it. and yes, it will change every so often as new people take charge.
if anyone write to me 2Q I will just ignore that communication. but if they did write 2nd Quarter then I may respond
Q2.
Fascinating responses so far! My boss writes 2Q and he’s the only one I’ve ever seen do it that way.
Q2... what is 2Q 😅
Q2. I don’t recall seeing 2Q anywhere.
Anyone writing 2Q should be shot.

I always include the year, so I do “2Q24” for example, is this wrong?? How would you include the year writing it Q2 without separating it out. it just seems less efficient
