Sure that's going to happen, but think about it from the other side. If a good employee leaves for greener pastures and wants to come back later, well, they already know the work and the team. Wouldn't you want to rehire some one if you were in that position? Even if they leave again down the line it's not like you spent a lot of time or energy getting them up to speed, they were already ready from round #1.
I thought it was implied, but generally if I don't even bother to put in a two weeks notice I'm not leaving on great terms.
I think its situational. I have only one employee that I can think of that I'd rehire even in the current market. The relationship is changed irreparably with me after quitting or threatening to if it was for another job. Any trust is gone unless you know they were a mercenary and worth it.
