So, say a worker on H1b quits and goes back to home country on last day of employment.
Then, after 6 months, they decide they want to come back to the US to work for a different company, is this a simple transfer of H1b?

"Even after the H-1B cap is reached, employers may continue to file H-1B petition on behalf of foreign nationals who are currently outside the U.S., as long as they held H-1B status during the past six years, and have not exhausted the full six years." Basically you have 6 years after you quit/are fired and return home to transfer that H1B to a new employer, for the balance of time remaining on that visa, without being subject to the cap. Ask your attorney ^_^
