I was reading an article. It mentioned that "the company's accounting staff seems to be stretched thin.". What does this mean?
Thanks for helping.
What does ”stretch thin” mean?

Compare the pool of staff to a lump of dough for pizza. Compare their workload to a pizza form.
Imagine the original dough was meant for a 20-cm form.
And now the dough has been stretched thin to fit a form of 40 cm ...
Imagine:
Originally: 4 staff members, workload of 4.
And now: 2 staff members, but still workload of 4.
Manpower has been s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d thin.
