I'm linking to the HN article, because some weird issues cropped up with the linked press release on Zenimax's own site.

I read some articles this morning about that. Seems the IT world is a dangerous place if you choose to work somewhere else after working for a big company. It's almost like the big company doesn't want you to be able to work at all if you quit working for them.

Google, Apple, et al just recently got into some trouble over non-compete clauses that they all conspired together and elected not to hire from each others' pool, even if said employees quit. So essentially, once you worked for (and left) a big company, you couldn't again work for another one for several years.
Insanity.
