Absolutely. A company that lays off workers is not doomed to forever remain at the new, smaller size.
Employees who are laid off and not rehired may have grounds for a lawsuit if they can show the layoffs and subsequent hirings were discriminatory in nature. For example, if you lay off a group of workers and then rehire all those under 30 years old, a 50 year old who was laid off might be able to claim that the layoff was a pretext for age discrimination, so a company who lays off workers and then hires some of them back (or replacements for the same jobs) had better very carefully document the reasons the re- or new hires were chosen over laid-off workers who were NOT rehired, and those reasons had better be legally valid ones ("he's clearly more qualified" is legally valid; "he's white" is almost certainly not).

As employee why do you have to give two weeks notice to quit to an employer?
Unless you have a contract with your employer that states otherwise, you do not have to give two weeks' notice. However, there are several reasons why you might want to:It's good form. Giving two weeks' notice demonstrates your professional courtesy and moral character.It may help you receive accrued paid time off. Unless your state is required to pay you accrued paid time off, your employer may decide whether you will receive paid time off at separation. In this circumstance, most employers will only pay accrued PTO to employees who give appropriate formal notice.It may positively affect your "rehire status." When future employers call a previous employer for a reference when you apply for a job, most employers will only share your "rehire status," that is, whether the company would hire you again. Obviously, being "not rehire-able" doesn't look good for you. Failing to give a formal notice gives your employer good reason to make you "not rehire-able."You won't burn bridges. Beyond employer references for future jobs, you may find yourself wishing to return to the company or working with individuals from the company, and leaving suddenly without formal notice isn't going to help your cause.
