I guess you've never had a contract with a no-compete clause in it then. When you get to certain levels or work in certain industries this clause can be put in a contract to prevent you from up and leaving with short notice. This is very restrictive and more like a pro athlete has to deal with, so there are instances of similar restrictions for regular folk.
