CA Labor Laws: Job positions posted months after layoffs?

I’m guessing it’s not illegal, just shitty, but can a company legally lay off a bunch of workers and then post the open positions months (under 6) later? I don’t know if background is necessary, but I worked for a large company that had 3 rounds of layoffs this year. I was impacted by the 2nd round in summer. I’m still looking for a job and saw a couple weeks ago my old position posted as a new opening. Same job, just hybrid now instead of remote (and probably less pay, it looks like?). I assume it’s just shitty business, not anything they could get in trouble for, right?
