> Departments that hire an employee placed on the RA blacklist are believed to have to layoff another employee to take their place.

I don't understand. Why is it so important to prevent laid off workers from being rehired/transferred? What's the rationale?

I've only ever heard of one person being RA'd (she then went to Lenovo, and was eventually let go from there) and coming back. Now she's a manager at IBM again.

In my experience, a lot of people get laid off, then get hired back as contractors.
