How can I revoke a user’s “staff” flag and reassign it to a different employee? My 10 “staff” seats are all currently spoken for, but some are assigned to people no longer with the company.

Navigate to the user’s admin page and revoke admin **and** moderator privileges. Both Admins and Moderators make up the automatic staff group.
