  AMD is on a run now. No longer in Intel’s shadow, it’s taking the PC market and data center by storm. While part of the reason is that Intel stumbled badly under a prior CEO, much of it is because of AMD’s almost unbelievable focus on unique customer segment needs. While AMD has always tended to be one of the more responsive vendors in its segment, it was when the company decided to go after the game console market, which none of its peers wanted, that forced AMD to improve its responsiveness and partner collaboration, and it is this extra step that has turned AMD from a lamb to a lion in the market.

  Leaders in the financial services industry are notorious for leading the call to return to offices, but according to a new survey from Deloitte, they might not want to be in the office themselves. Deloitte  asked  700 mid- to executive-level financial services professionals—leaders who would conceivably make up tomorrow’s C-suite—about their thoughts on hybrid. If they have their say, the future will not be spent in the office. Here are the key findings. Very few want a full-time return to office or full-time remote:  Only 13% of respondents said their ideal schedule was a return to office five days a week, and only 8% wanted to be fully remote. Only 18% of respondents said they wanted to be in office 3-4 days a week.  Most people who are required to go in full time say they’d quit:  66% of respondents who are remote said they’d leave their job if they had to go in five times a week. Caregivers were 1.3 times more likely to say they’d leave if they couldn...
