AMD chipping away at Intel's server CPU market share as it sees record growth

Won't mention the name of my company but I see the loss of productivity and increase in support costs every day. I shake my head at some of the insanely old computers we still have running. Most of the employees could get far more work done on a new lower end machine with dual monitors and an ssd, and save the company more money in a month than they would spend in the new equipment. Try explaining that to a manager who can barely operate a computer though and their eyes glaze over. The incompetence in management in these large corporations is maddening.

Yeah, that's pretty awful but corporations like that don't live long if they have a dynamic and efficient competitor who knows what they're doing. Every single aspect of the business from logistics to customer service will be noticeably superior in the other company and customers, the lifeblood of any business, will always move in that direction.

Customers don't want apologies or excuses, they want results and the kind of management that you describe generates a lot more of the former and a lot less of the latter. Sooner or later, it will cause the company to go bankrupt.

I haven't worked for the competition but I'm going to go out on a limb and say the company doesn't have a viable competitor at this time. The way customers and employees are treated wouldn't be tolerated if it did. It, like too many large corporations, is so dominant in the market that a truly competitive market is not likely any time soon.

Well, that's what happens in an unregulated capitalist market. Capitalism is a competition and like all competitions, sooner or later, someone wins. This results in oligopoly at best and monopoly at worst.

If it's a massive company though, I'm pretty sure that revealing which one it is won't be implicating you personally. LOL
