Filson has a 126-year history in Seattle but now, up to 26 manufacturing employees in the area could lose their jobs.
SEATTLE — Employees in the 'lead' role at REI stores will be laid off and a new staffing model will be implemented, REI Vice President of Stores Mary-Farrel Tarbox announced in an email to workers on Friday. These are not the first layoffs announced this year for REI. In early 2023, REIthat 167 people in corporate positions would be laid off, impacting about 8% of their headquarters staff.
The 'Lead' role was chosen for cuts, according to the email, because it"is the most inconsistently used role across the fleet and are retiring it effective immediately." REI said most employees in the position will be transitioned to new roles. This is in contrast to regular part-time workers who, according to the email,"can expect a high degree of flexibility and variability throughout the year to meet both the employee desire for flexibility and support our dynamic business demands."
