Can an employer hire for the same position after they told you it was eliminated due to a reorganization? Isn't there a 6-8 month waiting period to rehire someone for that position?
I was laid off a month ago and then they hired an employee from my competitor.

Assuming you are a private sector, non-union employee, George is right. Sometimes a reorganization is an excuse for firing someone for an impermissible reason, such as discrimination, whistle-blowing or doing something you had a right to, like taking a medical leave.

There is nothing illegal in this scenario unless your employer used the layoff as a subterfuge to get rid of you for an illegal reason (discrimination, retaliation for legally protected activity, etc.).
