The Ventura-based outdoor apparel company Patagonia is laying off 41 people, its second round of job cuts this year.
Patagonia announced the new round of layoffs on Monday, in a LinkedIn post by CEO Ryan Gellert . He wrote that the layoffs are part of “some major internal changes” that involve creating new positions and eliminating others.
“Today, we are getting more right than wrong, but we aren’t meeting the high standards we set for ourselves,” Gellert wrote. “And while we remain profitable, we are vulnerable to the same economic headwinds many companies in our industry are facing.”
Most of the new positions are being filled by existing Patagonia employees, Gellert wrote.
The jobs that are being eliminated come from all over the company, with the exception of the warehouse, retail and customer service departments, company spokesperson Corley Kenna said in an email interview. Some are in Ventura, some are remote jobs and some are based in Patagonia’s facilities in Reno, she said.
