A Amazon grocery executive says that the company’s internal bureaucracy is “ridiculous” and that the retail giant is working to reduce it.
At an internal meeting last week for Amazon’s edible team, an employee asked how the company planned to accelerate decision making due to the “multiple levels” necessary for the approach. The meeting was leaked on Wednesday when Business intern Obeyed a recording of it.
The Vice President of Amazon of Grocery World Grocery and Whole Foods, Jason Buechel, responded to the employee’s concern by characterizing the internal agency as “ridiculous” and saying that Amazon is extraction processes. According to Buechel, the bureaucracy slows down the Liazon edible business and retains the company back.

“The comments that I have Gothic for team members and employees is that, ultimately, we are wasting time,” Buechel said at the meeting. “It is taking too long in decisions and approvals to take place, and it is actually braking some initiatives.”

Amazon’s emphasis on bureaucracy reduction extends to the Andy Jassy CEO. In September, along with a mandate back to the office, Jassy presented a “desktop mailbox” so that employees send examples of where they saw unnecessary processes or rules in the company. For November, that entrance tray had resorted to more than 500 emails and Amazon had acted in more than 150 suggestions.
Jassy also announced in September that the company would eliminate excess medium management layers by the end of March. Amazon achieved this goal stopping the hiring of new managers, degrading some managers and demanding existing managers to increase their number of direct reports.
In a meeting filtered in November, Jassy said that “one of the reasons” that was still on Amazon was “because it is not a political or bureaucratic place.”
“The reality is that the [senior leadership team] And I hate the bureaucracy, “Jassy said at the meeting.
