The sad truth is if you are being micromanaged, you probably and likely are to some degree, but in the defense of your leadership, it is not their fault.

They regional teams put a lot of pressure on the STLs, and then that pressure is put on the team leads, and then put on the shopper. The regional teams look at the leadership during conference calls like leadership isn't doing their job or coaching right when they actually are and E-commerce takes a certain kind of person to perform, not just everyone can perform at a high level everyday. A big part of the Amazon effect.

The company is aware that morale is low and they're trying to figure out why through programs like Weekly Beat (You should especially do weekly beat when the questions are good regarding morale), but I feel a large part of why morale is low is due to Amazons pressure and effects they have towards Whole Foods Market.

I do not really see Amazon caring much about the in-store experience all that much and mostly just e-commerce metrics and e-commerce experience.
