Its pretty common. I work in the software/telco industry and usually
when you quit they give you an extra month's pay for signing it.
Basically they don't want you disrupting customers, future employees,
etc. "bad mount" is a generic term. However, in my experience, there
are as many jobs as you can want, all paying well into the 6 figures.
However, I work on the software design side designing software to do
fault and provisioning on network elements. Certainly a different type
of position than an IT guy.
