Patagonia became famous for letting staff cut out early to chase waves—now it’s asking dozens of employees to relocate or leave because it’s 300% overstaffed

Corley Kenna, head of communications at Patagonia, told Fortune that for much of the last year its customer-service team, which has been fully remote since the pandemic, has been anywhere from 200 to 300% overstaffed for much of the last year.

“Many times staff only had about two hours of work a day,” Kenna said. “That’s not good for your career. That’s not good for the business.”
