Of the 120 staffers that don't have a "staff account", how many have accounts with (WMF) in the username - or accounts at all?
I honestly do not know the numbers, though I'd wager "most" is close to reality - certainly any recent addition to the teams.
I think the confusion stems from the user right being /named/ "staff": accounts aren't staff acounts by virtue of having the bit or not but simply by having been created for the purpose of communicating with the community in an 'official' function (all staffers are encouraged to create such an account to discriminate their role from volunteer involvement unrelated to the job). My understanding is that you do not keep the staff account when you leave the Foundation.
The staff userright, on the other hand, is granted and removed as needed by the requirements of one's job at the time.
